David – he’s back!

You’ve heard him on every Jackson Browne hit (and almost every song)…he’s the one with the slide guitar & pedal steel at the the end of Running on Empty, or Before the Deluge, or in The Pretender…

And he’s gonna be here tomorrow night.

Here’s more from Jan:

David Lindley takes a break from his world tour with Jackson Browne to bring his eclectic and diverse musical talents back to the Whittier stage tomorrow, Wednesday, July 7 at 8:00 p.m.

David last appeared at the Theatre in 2008, showcasing his wide array of electro-acoustic tunes that combine American folk, blues and bluegrass traditions with elements from Africa, Arabic, Asian, Celtic and Turkish musical sources.  The island’s own Mike Adams of Uncle Otto and The Rhythmatics calls David “one of the greatest multi-instrumentalists around.”  “It’s always great to see a performer of his caliber on the island,” he added.

A longtime featured accompanist with Jackson Browne, David’s legendary stringed-instrument virtuosity has been showcased on many of Browne’s albums, beginning with 1973s For Everyman, and on classics such as Late for the Sky and The Pretender.  “What he played did as much to form my music as my writing those songs…This is one of the great slide players of all time,” said Browne in a 2010 Rolling Stone article.
