More about the band, from their press release:
Singer-songwriter Jackie Greene returns to play a couple Sacramento venues. He’ll be at Marilyn’s on March 23rd and The Blue Lamp on March 24th.
For the Marilyn’s gig, the show starts at 9:00 pm. The venue is located on the K Street Mall between 9th and 10th (but closer to 9th).
For the Blue Lamp gig, the doors open at 8pm and the show is at 9pm. Note: the show is for 21 & over. The Blue Lamp is located at 1400 Alhambra Blvd.
Friday December 10th – An evening with Jackie Greene – Doors open at 8:00 – This event is SOLD OUT, but you can get in (until occupancy is maxed out) at the door, (standing room only). National recording star Jackie Greene returns to Marilyn’s on K. Jackie Greene has a commanding stage presence, and he plays every instrument he lays hands on (at one Marilyn’s performance he played several guitars, a pocketful of harmonicas, drums, keyboards …even a plywood box). He is one of those rare talents that embraces all aspects of a performance. He is both a poet and a songwriter (one person said to think Bob Dylan with a better voice). “Greene can write any damned thing he wants to and has the heart to pull it off,” wrote Thom Jurek of All Music Guide.
This show gives local fans a rare opportunity to enjoy the national star in an intimate setting. Marilyn’s is located on the K Street Mall between 9th and 10th (but closer to 9th).
Ok, ok, it’s about an hour away. But that’s pretty close and there are some local artists included so we’ll mention it here. From their press release:
