Americana singer-songwriter Jackie Greene has bee

n touted as "the Prince of Americana" by the New York Times. Greene has a
way of capturing everyday life’s experiences in a way that resounds with his
devoted and appreciative audiences. His EP, “The Modern Lives – Vol 1,”
(recorded entirely by Greene in a Brooklyn basement) presents his take on
today’s unique and complex issues that this technologically-driven society is
faced with – including the lack of “connection” in a constantly “connected”
world. His most recent offering, “The Modern Lives – Vol 2” (Blue Rose
Music) just dropped in October 2018.

Greene began self-recording in 2002 in California. After signing to his first
record deal, he toured with such musical powerhouses as BB King, Mark
Knopfler, Susan Tedeschi, and Taj Mahal, in addition to sizzling festival stages
from Bonnaroo to Outside Lands. Other notable accolades include The New
York Times hailing his "spiritual balladry," while Bob Weir anointed him the
"cowboy poet" of Americana and blues and The San Francisco Chronicle
raved that he has "a natural and intuitive connection with…just about any
musical instrument." Also, NPR's World Café lauded that his "sound seems
at once achingly intimate, surprisingly energetic, and unburdened by
adherence to genre.”

Greene has emerged as a singular singer and guitarist, prompting Rolling
Stone to praise his "honeyed tenor" and name him among "the most notable
guitarists from the next generation of six-string legends." Between his studio
albums and his solo tours, Greene has appeared with the likes of Phil Lesh &
Friends, The Black Crowes, Levon Helm, and Trigger Hippy, his supergroup
with Joan Osborne.

ION Indie Magazine’s own Greg Logan had the distinct pleasure to capture

these dynamic images of Greene at The Town Hall in NYC.
