Jackson Browne has written and performed some of the most literate and moving songs in popular music and has defined a genre of songwriting charged with honesty, emotion and personal politics. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 and the Songwriter's Hall of Fame in 2007.
Except for a brief period in NYC in the late 1960s, Jackson has always lived in Southern California. His debut album came out on David Geffen's Asylum Records in 1972. Since then, he has released fourteen studio albums, four collections of live performances, two "best of" compilations, two DVDs and several single recordings. Jackson's newest studio album, "Downhill From Everywhere" was released in July 2021 and GRAMMY nominated for Best Americana Album.
Browne is known for his advocacy on behalf of the environment, human rights, and arts education. He's a co-founder of the groups Musicians United for Safe Energy (MUSE) and Nukefree.org and a member of the Ocean advocacy group, Ocean Elders.
In 2002, he was the fourth recipient of the John Steinbeck Award, given to artists whose works exemplify the environmental and social values that were essential to the great California-born author. He has received Duke University's LEAF award for Lifetime Environmental Achievement in the Fine Arts, and both the Chapin-World Hunger Year and NARM Harry Chapin Humanitarian Awards. In 2004, Jackson was given an honorary Doctorate of Music by Occidental College in Los Angeles, for "a remarkable musical career that has successfully combined an intensely personal artistry with a broader vision of social justice."

It was our first time watching Jackson Browne live and he was incredible! Beautiful voice, personable with the audience, great band and acoustics. 2 hours felt like 5 mins because we had such a great time! Definitely want to go again!!
Phenomenal concert! The band was tight and Jackson
Good concert, didn’t care for the political rhetoric at the beginning. Regardless of artists political beliefs, I am paying to see them perform and to be entertained
Vocally he was amazing. This was our second time in 2 years and this time he didn’t sing some of his most popular songs. That was very disappointing! I did see some people leaving the venue about 5 songs in. Also, people come to escape the craziness of this world and not pay for political views. That was a turn off.
Jackson Browne performed many of his greatest hits and was a true joy to listen to. His voice stayed true to his legacy of incredible ballads and his performance was memorable and impactful. The Venetian is a lovely venue with unobstructed views and great access from every seat. Sound quality was top notch as well.
It had been decades and I had a yearning to see Jackson. I was beyond happy from the opening song until his encore of Running on Empty! I closed my eyes and I was 19 again! His band was amazing; especially guitar solos and back up singers. Jackson was gracious and kind to his audience.
We saw Jackson Brown concert at the Venetian Theatre on 11/7/25 and it was a very enjoyable night. Great vocals and band, they had so much energy! It was our second Jackson Brown concert and we loved it!
Went to a very old VENUE AT THE VENETIAN LAS . This was the last show of his stay !!! The first 4 songs were about his memory’s of his old days … We did not know or heard of those songs !!! The the old geezers started yelling out songs = KEEP YOUR DAMN MOUTHS SHUT UP!!! NEXT THE CONCERT SHIRTS / EVERYTHING WAS PICTUREs of when he was a HIPPIE 45 plus years ago. !!! So huge loss of sales for SWAG !! = Saved me a LOT OF MONEY !!!
Jackson is one of our favorite performers and he did not disappoint! Took requests from the audience which shows versatility. His band was excellent. His voice is still great. The man can write a song!
Loved the show! The acoustics in the Venetian Theater were fantastic! We were near the back, but when Jackson played his first chord, it was like I was sitting right next to him. It was cand for my ears. He puts on a great show, with many original old favorites and cover songs. Other than the loud-mouthed groupie behind us who seemed to think it was ok to tell my husband how to sit, it was a great show!
