AN EVENING WITH
JACKSON BROWNE

BASS CONCERT HALL
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2009, 8:00 P.M.
FOR ONE PERFORMANCE ONLY!

TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 AT NOON!

Since his acclaimed 1972 self-titled debut album, Jackson Browne has defined a genre of songwriting and performing that is charged with honesty, emotion and personal politics. Texas Performing Arts at the University of Texas at Austin welcomes Browne to Bass Concert Hall on Monday, November 30, 2009 for an intimate solo acoustic evening. Tickets go on sale at noon on Friday, September 25 at authorized ticket outlets, which include the Bass Concert Hall Box Office, most H-E-B stores and all Texas Box Office outlets, online at www.TexasPerformingArts.org, or by calling (512) 477-6060 or (800) 982-BEVO.

This performance is one of Browne’s first solo acoustic dates since early 2008. The stripped-down, unscripted nature of Jackson’s intimate solo performances can be experienced through two live albums recorded on previous solo acoustic tours in the U.S., the U.K. and Australia: the GRAMMY®-nominated Jackson Browne – Solo Acoustic, Vol. 1 (2005) and Jackson Browne – Solo Acoustic, Vol. 2 (’08). Both albums are available on Browne’s independent label, Inside Recordings. In his four-star review of Vol. 2 for Rolling Stone, Anthony DeCurtis wrote, “Between songs, Browne speaks about his life and music with moving candor…This is Browne at his best, engaging his audience, his own experiences and the world around him, all in songs that will not lose their resonance any time soon.”

Two of Browne’s albums, Late For the Sky and The Pretender, are on Rolling Stone’s list of the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time.” He’s been recognized with inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (2004) and the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame (2007), with recent humanitarian honors including the John Steinbeck Award and the Chapin-World Hunger Year Harry Chapin Humanitarian Award.
