Plus all the music I've heard in my life that I've liked or disliked. The unique combination of positive and negative listening experiences make my music what it is.
Mr. Brown plays post-modern rock and roll, an old-school approach: an incidental, inherent rejection of the bland music in the modern era.
Mr. Brown has played over 200 shows since April 2004 in the midwest and beyond. I am officially inviting you to come out and see what we're all about sometime soon!
The self-titled first album was released in late 2005, combining singer-songwriter sensibilities along with guitar-driven post-modern rock.
The upcoming album (due out later this year) picks up where the last one left off, and promises to be an eclectic tour through the world of rock and roll.
