Jeff doesn't care much for talking himself up. So he usually doesn't. He likes to play his guitar. He can't drink milk. He practices entertainment law. He doesn't dance much. He thinks you should listen to Iron Maiden. He looks younger than he is, and is endlessly amused with this. He has many very talented musical friends who he admires and enjoys sharing the stage with. He loves talking to people after his shows. He would probably like you. He likes writing songs that make people feel good. He's not very good at playing Guitar Hero III.
He's been heavily involved in the Chicago acoustic/folk music scene, and before that, he was pretty involved in the Chicago metal and hardcore scenes. Sure, it's a bit of a leap, but some of the heavier influences can still be heard in his quieter, more introspective works. And he'll still break out an acoustic Iron Maiden cover or blistering guitar solo if you ask nicely.
This page represents Jeff's solo work, but if you want more information on his band, The Jeff Brown Extra Large Trio, or his guitar work in Goodbyehome, feel free to follow the links. You won't be disappointed... Or you might be. But if you are, it's best to keep it to yourself.
