Mountain Winery, June 23-24 (opening for Jewel) Jazz on the Plazz, July 27 It's only a matter of time before Jackie Greene jumps from the opening slots and community bandstands to come into his own. He does a hearty singer/songwriter thing that echoes Bob Dylan voice, guitar and harmonica recorded in mono. But his youthful e lan has others whispering John Mayer and Jack Johnson.
He's sold 50,000 records independently and signed to Verve/Forecast and local Sactown label Dig. For those who like to forecast futures, Greene's stock is rising fast. See him for free in Los Gatos before you have to pay good money next year.
From the May 18-24, 2005 issue of Metro, Silicon Valley's Weekly Newspaper. For more information about the San Jose/Silicon Valley area, visit .
