Robert Brown. Vocals & Guitars, Dulcimar,Mandolin, Banjo etc Anything with strings really, except a violin!
Influences
You Name it! Everything from old fashioned country music that I was bottle fed when I was a kid. Hank Williams, Hank Snow, Marty Robbins, Charly Pride. HillBilly & RockaBilly stars like Johnny Burnette, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Jerry Lee & of course Elvis.
Right up to the Likes of Hendrix, Zappa, Page, Salvador Dali Domenech, Buchannon, Egor Stravinsky, Hank Marvin, Sabbath for their bludgeoning Riffs! and all points in between.
Scotty Moore and Merle Travis for the Schooling on guitar pickin.
Cliff Gallup for being the Damn Best!
Peter Greene for the extra heartbreaking sound we all try to find.
Roy Harper & Richard Thompson, not an influence but songwriters who inspire me to try and write real songs in diffrent styles. Clever Bastards!
I am also a new and huge fan of the "Bionic folk Grandad", Nic Jones!
Must admit a head nod or two to Massive attack that guy has soul in him.
People do ask, but no. Ive never listened to Bob Dylan or the Beatles.
They just dont twang mah thang!
Berberman and the Mighty Smouldering Sons of the West!

"In this day and age it’s truly a very rare guitarist/song writer who can deliver the power of rock on an acoustic.
A true lesson in the power of an acoustic guitar.
Quite possibly the BEST EVER acoustic solo artist performance that I’ve ever seen!"
DJ Krusher "Classic Rock Magazine" April 2009.
With his unique style and presence Robert delivers a wealth of styles and emotions throughout the roots spectrum.
"His psychedelic folk cum blues cum jazz performances are unique yet accessible, eccentric yet consistent".
Robert has worked with artists ranging from the late Great Dick Heckstall Smith to Lulu.
In The past year Robert has played a Headline show at the Cambridge Folk Festival Club stage and has been one of the headline acts at the Clare World Music Festival.
He also played Solo Acoustic support for Lulu on her last UK tour.
Later this year in 2009 he will be touring the US for a second time in November & December
Either performing solo acoustic or with the Smouldering Sons of the West (including a 6ft Gong), the live shows are full of sonorous dynamics with an intensity and energy radiating from the stage.
Robert has released his debut solo album on his own label. But is always looking for a dedicated progressive label to distribute his songs to a larger & wider audience.
Robert is also happy to be approached by labels or artists requiring material for thier own releases. Robert has an extensive back catalog ranging from country Ballads to Folk, to Hardcore Rock.
Robert now tours constantly as a solo artist for nine months of the year across the UK. He WILL be playing a show near you this year.
Just check the gig guide for a show near you!
