Jackson Browne Plays Anti-DAPL Concert in North Dakota

HeadlineNov 28, 2016

Meanwhile, on Sunday night, musical legends Jackson Browne and Bonnie Raitt performed a benefit concert for the Standing Rock protesters. Jackson Browne made headlines last month when he signed an open letter to Kelcy Warren, CEO of Energy Transfer Partners, which owns the pipeline. Warren also owns a small music label, Music Road Records, which once released a Jackson Browne tribute CD. Browne said, “I do not support the Dakota Access pipeline. I will be donating all of the money I have received from this album to date, and any money received in the future, to the tribes who are opposing the pipeline.” In the press release about the Jackson Browne tribute album, pipeline owner Kelcy Warren wrote, “I don’t know of anybody that admires Jackson more than me.”
