Intimacy was the order of the night as singer-songwriter Jackie Greene played Wasted Space at the Hard Rock Hotel, and photog Erik Kabik was hand to shoot these images.

Green recently released his fifth album, Giving Up the Ghost, of which Amazon.com said: “It is possible, but hardly common, for a singer-songwriter to sound echoes of Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Gram Parsons, Elvis Costello and Paul Westerberg, all of which Jackie Greene does on his fifth album.

"The hard part, which Greene seems to pull off so effortlessly, is triggering those echoes without sacrificing an authentic voice of his own. That may be one meaning of the album's title: Greene seems comfortable acknowledging the ghosts of pop music past, perhaps because he's in thrall to none of them.” Read the full review here.
