Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Germany to American parents, Jackson moved to Los Angeles at three. By the mid-1960s, he was playing solo in Los Angeles and Orange County folk clubs, building the coffeehouse following that led to his 1972 debut.
The songs found their audience.
His self-titled debut brought Doctor My Eyes into the Top 10. For Everyman followed with These Days and Take It Easy, co-written with Glenn Frey. Late For The Sky, The Pretender and Running On Empty became central works in his catalog.
Beyond his own records.
Jackson also produced work by Warren Zevon and David Lindley. His commitment to environmental and social justice led him to co-found Musicians United for Safe Energy in 1979 and help organize the No Nukes concerts. He continues that connection between music and public life through benefit shows.
