Formed in 2006, The Brown-Ham Duo consists of drummer Alex Brown and multi-instrumentalist/loop master Jon Ham. The duo met in college at SUNY Fredonia and quickly became good friends. Their musical interests span many genres and decades pulling influences from traditional classical to the ever obscure. With an ever evolving sound, The Brown-Ham Duo intends to push the boundries of improvisational music while keeping the groove alive.
Check out their live show to witness The Duo's transformation from just 2 guys into the rich soundscape of a full band.
Whoooaaa...I am also a SUNY Fredonia alum now living in Denver. And actually I think I may have even DJ'd a show that you guys played at back at EBC??? Wow, if so small world. If you guys have a show coming up let me know and I'll be there.
