: A Tribute Band

Looking East: A Jackson Browne Tribute Band is a Cincinnati-based band dedicated to playing the timeless music of Jackson Browne. Browne, an American singer-songwriter who rose to fame in the 1970s, blends great lyrics and stellar music, and that is why he is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and winner of the Steinbeck Award, among others. As one of the first to sign with Geffen Records, he led the way for The Eagles, Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt and the rest of the singer-songwriters and bands out of southern California.

Looking East was formed in 2010 by drummer Peter Wimberg (a Browne enthusiast who has met the legendary musician on three separate occasions) and consists of seven talented musicians and vocalists: Larry Arszman (guitar), Ed O’Donnell (guitar), Paul Saas (bass), Chris Hazelwood (keys, lead vocals), Peter Wimberg (drums), Dani Daniels (vocals) and Cara Nicolas (vocals). The ultimate goal of Looking East is to perform the music as originally written with not only male lead vocals but also females in light of the many who have covered his songs from Linda Ronstadt to Bonnie Raitt to Emmylou Harris. Every detail of the music, from the intricate guitar riffs to the soulful backing vocals, is carefully replicated. The band spent a solid year rehearsing and perfecting each song before performing for the first time in public; now, they are eager to share Browne’s incredible music with the community.

The selection of music played by Looking East spans Browne's entire career, from Saturate Before Using to Time the Conqueror, including all of the classics and some of the more obscure (but still rockin’) songs. The music of Jackson Browne can be appreciated by all, as every one of Browne’s songs tells a story from his life to which anyone can easily relate.
