An early bloomer, singer/songwriter/guitarist Jackie Greene emerged from the San Francisco music scene with his debut album in 2002 at the age of 22. By the time of his third release, Sweet Somewhere Bound, his mix of roots rock, bluesy guitar, and Dylan-influenced songwriting broke through. His first proper label release, American Myth, appeared in 2006, and Greene began playing guitar in Phil Lesh's band in 2007. His Giving Up the Ghost album was released in 2008, followed by 2010's Til the Light Comes, his first to hit the Billboard 200. Greene took time to perform with supergroups Trigger Happy and WRG, and joined the Black Crowes from 2013 until they disbanded in 2015. His Back to Birth album was issued later that year. ~ Jim Allen & Marcy Donelson
