JACKIE GREENE WEEKEND
2026-01-17
Dinner Show with JACKIE GREENE

Americana and roots singer-songwriter Jackie Greene is a jack-of-all-trades, and an artist who can croon over soulful piano ballads as much as he can shred a bluesy guitar solo (like he did as the lead guitarist for The Black Crowes in 2013).He is a student of American music, transfixed upon its progression through time, as well as how regional sounds fit in a contemporary context. Greene experiments with the Delta blues as a canvas for his examinations of modern society.
Greene’s dynamic, multi-instrumental range as he plays slide guitar, organ, bass, and percussion, the guitar licks are an appreciative nod to his time in The Black Crowes.
