DESCRIPTION:www.mikebrown.org \nGrammy-nominated singer-songwriter\, produ
 cer\, and multi-instrumentalist Mike Brown makes music rooted in the ric
 h traditions of Americana\, folk\, roots\, country\, and rock & roll. A n
 atural storyteller with an unmistakably authentic voice\, Brown writes son
 gs populated by restless travelers\, complicated relationships\, hard-earn
 ed lessons\, heartache\, hope\, and the places people find themselves alon
 g the way. \nBrown’s music has the intimacy of a late-night listening ro
 om and the energy of a full roots band. Acoustic guitar\, dobro and other 
 stringed instruments provide the foundation for songs that can move from q
 uiet\, reflective storytelling to gritty\, foot-stomping Americana.  \nHi
 s influences reach across generations of American music—the storytelling
  traditions of Bob Dylan\, Tom Waits\, John Prine and Neil Young\; the r
 oots and Americana spirit of The Band\; and the raw\, independent altern
 ative rock and country vibes of Wilco\, Son Volt\,  Watchhouse and Nath
 aniel Rateliff.  Rather than fitting neatly into a single genre\, Brown 
 draws from those traditions to create music that feels lived-in\, spontane
 ous and distinctly his own. \nWhether performing alone in an intimate list
 ening room or collaborating with other musicians in the studio\, Mike Brow
 n approaches music as a storyteller first—combining the honesty of folk\
 , the grit of Americana\, the soul of roots music and the restless energy 
 of rock & roll into songs that sound less like performances and more like 
 stories being lived in real time.. \nThat collaborative spirit is captured
  on Brown’s ambitious debut album\, American Hotel. Recorded by Brown a
 cross all 50 states over eight years\, the project brought together an ex
 traordinary cast of 75 guest musicians\, including members of The Band\, 
 Los Lobos\, Wilco\, The Jayhawks\, Television\, Nine Inch Nails\, The Wall
 flowers\, Counting Crows\, Goo Goo Dolls\, Lynyrd Skynyrd\, Matchbox Twent
 y\, Soul Asylum\, Whiskeytown\, Morphine\, Belle and Sebastian\, 10\,000 M
 aniacs and many others. \nBrown’s work has also earned recognition from 
 the Recording Academy. In 2014\, Automatic Music Can Be Fun\, his collab
 oration with childhood friend Zac DeCamp\, received a GRAMMY nomination 
 for Best Recording Package at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards. Brown\, DeCa
 mp\, Brian Grunert and Annie Stoll were nominated alongside projects from 
 artists including David Bowie\, Jay-Z and Metallica. \nBeyond performing 
 and songwriting\, Brown is an accomplished producer\, engineer and studio
  owner. He founded Temperamental Recordings\, transforming a former Metho
 dist church built in 1828 into a recording studio and creative space\, and
  has produced a wide range of artists including David Knoffler  (also to
 ured as part of David’s band)..  Brown is also a curator of vintage mus
 ic instruments and recording equipment. He was featured on the History Cha
 nnel’s American Pickers\, where he appeared as an expert curator and ap
 praiser. \nA true road warrior\, if he is not recording or producing\, he 
 is on the road playing gigs. Most recently\, Mike completed a tour of the 
 Mid-West earlier this Summer.  Mike will be touring the North East in the
  Fall and South next Spring. Mike joined fellow musicians including Cris 
 Jacobs for a Benefit for the Homeless- Pre-Party to Billy Strings on Augus
 t1st\, and frequently plays throughout the Catskills area. .  \n  \n \
