Seventies rocker Jackson Browne will be the first artist to take the Tucson Music Hall stage when he brings his Evening With tour here on September 15th.

This will be Browne’s first concert here since playing a near-sold-out show at the Fox Tucson Theater in 2016 on the label for recording.

Browne holds a special place in Tucson’s heart. He has performed here every few years since in 2011 he led the benefit concert of the Fund for Civilization, Respect and Understanding, which arose from the tragedy of the mass shooting on January 8, 2011. Former MP Gabby Giffords and her assistant Ron Barber were injured in the attack, which killed six people.

Barber, who later took Gifford’s seat in Congress, organized the Fund for Civility to heal the city after the shooting and promote courtesy to violence.

Browne helped Barber and other local organizers recruit artists for the concert at the Tucson Arena. Among the 15 artists who joined the line-up included Alice Cooper, Dar Williams, Keb ‘Mo’, Ozomatli and Graham Nash and David Crosby.

Tickets ($ 37- $ 127) for the September 15th concert will be on sale Friday, June 25th, through ticketmaster.com or at the Tucson Convention Center box office at 260 S. Church Ave.
