John John Brown

It's pretty much impossible for me to hear John John Brown sing and not think of John Prine. John John's voice, his songwriting, and his playing style seem to be channeling that great folk music icon. But John John is clearly charting his own path, most obviously with his performance piece, Songs Stories, and Art: Lessons From Strangers. This is very interesting and compelling stuff, and I can't wait to experience it live and in person!

No Depression calls John John Brown’s debut album The Road  “a blend of astute Americana accompanied by a quiet, reflective glow,” while Americana UK said his newest release is “so well written that every song could be a short story.” Post to Wire noted that “John Prine is a clear influence in the way Brown rolls astute observations and a humorous slant into his lyrics.” In recent years, John John has been chosen as a Kerrville New Folk winner and an Emerging Artist at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. Most notably, in concert, he is known for mixing storytelling songs with the visual arts creating “an imaginative musical performance woven into a unique visual experience.”
