Jackson Browne

When Jackson Browne works acoustic, anything is likely to happen. However, the Rock Hall of Famer is not working solo this time around; he’ll be backed by guitarist Val McCallum and percussionist Fritz Lewak. Don’t be surprised if there are a few pointed political messages along with sensitive songs such as “The Pretender” and “For a Dancer.” Opener Sara Watkins, the Garrison Keillor favorite who used to be in Nickel Creek, will promote her second solo album, “Sun Midnight Sun,” and likely collaborate with Browne.
