Greg Brown is a folk musician from Iowa in the Midwest of the USA. He was born into a very musical family, in which his father was a Pentecostal minister. He spent many years traveling with a band and then one day returned to Iowa which was the base for him to pursue his songwriting career. Brown as released something in the region of thirty albums to this date, since the late 80s recording an album every year.
He performs ever so well, and is never short of material, each song being a folk tale of something or other “Fat Boy Blues” being one of my personal favourites. One of the things that comes with Greg Brown when he performs live is the comedy. He makes the audience howl from start to finish delivering some of the funniest anecdotes along the way. One of the highlights of his set for me was “Fat Boy Blues” a song that he delivers fantastically on his Gibson Hummingbird guitar.
