I believe some band once sang a song about Monday’s, it was pretty negative, but on waking up today all I have is good news to share. Our great friends at CMP Entertainment in Liverpool have given The New Current a pair of tickets for Jackson Browne who will be taking part of the Liverpool Summer Pops Festival on 2nd July 2010.
Summer Pops promoter, Chas Cole said, “I’m a life-long fan of Jackson Browne, to bring him to Liverpool is a huge thrill for me.”
This is an incredible opportunity to see the Laurel Canyon icon Jackson Browne perform his amazing blend Americana, Folk, Rock like no other musician. This is a great opportunity to see an act as superb as Jackson Brown who is one of the best by far. Joining Jackson at Liverpool Summer Pops Festival is going to be David Lindley, one of Jackson’s longterm collaborators is also going to be performing with Jackson which comes on the heals of their spellbinding set at this years Glastonbury Festival at which the due took to the acoustic stage last night at 10pm.
Last night at Glastonbury Browne and longtime collaborator Lindley where the last act to take to the acoustic stage. They are scheduled against Stevie Wonder, which seems to bother Browne more than just a little bit (as he wants to watch him play), but a loyal crowd know where they’d rather be. Ninety minutes of guitar virtuousity, crafted pop songs and wry badinage follow.
One fo the high points was Take It Easy which closed the set and its opening chords garnered the biggest cheers of the night. A special mention, however, goes to Lindley’s homespun ditty about the point in a man’s life when he starts to grow breasts. It’s called How About When a Man Gets Boobs.
As Browne confirms: “David has a lot of uncoventional songs“.
Well respected amongst his peers, Browne has written songs for the likes of Joan Baez, The Byrds and The Eagles. He, famously, co-wrote The Eagles’ hit “Take It Easy” with founding member of the band, Glenn Frey. Browne had a 1972 hit with “Doctor My Eyes”, a collaboration with David Crosby and Graham Nash, who feature in the Summer Pops 2010 calendar as CROSBY, STILLS & NASH.
To win our pair of tickets for this event, courtesy of the great people at CMP Entertainment, all you have to do is email us your fondest memories of Jackson Browne’s music to competitions@thenewcurrent.com. The Winner will be emailed on the 1st July 2010!
