Jackie Greene
“Sacramento’s Jackie Greene has more old-soul in him than most musicians twice his age. He’s been tagged as a blues phenom, but his album reveals an effortless flair for Texas-and-Greenwich Village-style folk, hillbilly stomp, bar-band boogie woogie, or just about any roots-related genre he cares to try on for size. He’s a songwriter, plain and simple, and a superb one at that.” -James Sullivan, San Francisco Chronicle
Most recently lead singer for Phil Lesh and Friends, Gibson Guitar artist and called the next Bob Dylan by Rolling Stone as well as a top 10 artist to watch in 2008, Jackie is one of America’s hottest roots, rock and blues singer-songwriters.
Jackie Greene is a one-of-a-kind talent whose prodigious skills as a vocalist, songwriter, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist belie his youth. The Californian already has a wealth of experience under his belt, along with a seemingly bottomless well of musical inspiration that’s made him one of America’s hottest young roots artists.
Greene’s abundant passion and expertise manifest themselves in his vividly evocative songwriting and organically soulful performances. His casually commanding voice resonates with immediacy, while his striking songwriting is deeply personal, embracing a far-flung assortment of rock, folk, blues and country influences.
