  • Bio

    Xave Brown is a contemporary singer/songwriter of subtle, complex and powerful music. Xave's bluesy acoustic tunes are finely crafted with layers of rhythm, intricate finger picking, and vocals that switch in an instant from a throaty growl to liquid honey. Raw and passionate, Xave is perfectly matched by the exquisite and hauntingly beautiful voice of backing singer, Caitlin Dethridge. An established performer in the southwest of WA, Xave regularly gigs on the local and Perth circuits as well as at major WA festivals including; Blues at Bridgetown, Nannup, Wignall's Vintage Blues Festival, Broome Shinju Festival (2004) and the Harbour Sound Festival. As a solo performer Xave has played on Triple J and supported Paul Kelly, The John Butler Trio, Carus Thompson, Nathan Gaunt and toured with Ruby's Grace and The Kill Devil Hills. His talents receive ongoing recognition from the music industry both in WA and nationally. Xave was nominated as one of five finalists in the 8th International ANNUAL INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARDS in 2009. In 2006, Xave won the 2006 WAM Regional Song of the Year for his single 'Call of the Wild" which was also nominated in the top five in the 2007 national Musicoz Awards. 'Call of the Wild' has been included in the 2008 WAMI compilation CD. He was also nominated for a WAMi for his songs "Winter Wind" in 2008 and "The Fall" in 2009 and was the recipient of a grant from the Arts Commission to record his album "Whalebone Beach".

    I'm based in the Bunbury area, about half an hours drive east. But I don't mind traveling, it's all part of it.

    Hey Xave

    I met you a couple of years ago at the Karridale Circus Fest. I've been playing around the place in "The Resonators" duo and am now embarking on a solo project. Would love to do a few shows with you if you are keen.
