Jackie Greene tour dates

Few artists can lay as large a claim to "self-made" status as Jackie Greene. As a young boy, Greene taught himself to play the guitar and piano rather than reading comic books or playing video games. He saved up money by selling his own self-produced CDs until he could afford to pay for a full-length album, and his efforts paid off as he eventually connected with everyone from B.B. King to The Black Crowes. He's played at music festivals like Bonnaroo, Grateful Garcia Gathering and Rothbury.

Jackie Greene background

Jackie Greene's self-funded debut Rusty Nails got considerable attention, all while he was still in high school, and the blues/Americana force was eventually signed by Dig Music. His sophomore effort, Gone Wonderin', landed on the Americana charts upon its release in 2002.

After touring alongside Buddy Guy, Huey Lewis and B.B. King, the Californian released Sweet Somewhere Bound in 2004. A year later, he signed on with Verve Forecast and released American Myth. In 2013, he joined The Black Crowes, a stint that would last the better part of two years, until he reignited his solo career and issued 2015's Back to Birth.
