I don’t know, man. Go to my Twitter or something.

Actually, no. Twitter is kind of a horrible place these days. Go to my Instagram. Instagram is still pretty cool.


1000 Ways Album has been funded!

Posted on November 8th, by theadmin in Uncategorized. No Comments

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to all who helped me reach my funding goal to release my upcoming album.

It’s been a journey for sure, but I could not have done this without your help.  Thanks to you, I have enough funds to release the album that I’ve been working on for the past two years.  The recording, mixing, and mastering is complete, and now the next step is to finish the art layout and design so that I can send everything to be manufactured.

I anticipate the album to be available to the general public early next year, but everyone that helped with the fundraising campaign will get it before then.

And since I reached my goal, the campaign was selected for an extended “In Demand” period, where people can still contribute and receive a copy of the album … Read More »


Brown Goes East

So, I moved…

As of this evening, I am officially a Chicagoan living in rural Virginia.

It’s weird.  But it makes up for it by being super pretty out here.

 

Don’t worry, Chicago, I’ll be back to hang out soon…


Moving On

Posted on June 29th, by jeff in Uncategorized. No Comments

22 years ago, I came to Chicago. I’ve spent my entire adult life in this city. It made me who I am, for better and worse.

Chicago has taught me to be open, mindful, and respectful. But to also take shit from nobody. It has fed my ego, without ever failing to humble me. It has introduced me to, and shown me who my true friends are.

It’s also spoiled me rotten. Chicago has just about everything at its fingertips. I’m going to miss that.

I’m going to miss all of it.

And tomorrow morning, it will be time to move on with a lump in my throat that feels like the size of my fist.

Until we meet again…

“They tell me Chicago is bitter, and broken, and cold. But I know Chicago is beautiful when it snows…”


The Rockstar Life

I packed all my glassware, so I’m drinking a Manhattan out of a jar that once held Q-tips.

You wish your life was this glamorous…


Run Rabbit Run

One last show before I disappear out East.  I know, I know, the Schuba’s concert was supposed to be my last, but how could I possibly say no to such a wonderful opportunity to raise money for mental health research and suicide prevention?  I’ll be here this afternoon with several of my friends — covering Frightened Rabbit songs and taking donations to help out those that need it.


Hello Wisconsin!

A Schuba’s Goodbye

Posted on May 9th, by jeff in Uncategorized. No Comments

Last night at Schuba’s was more sweet than bitter, but bittersweet nevertheless. I hope to be back in Chicago making music soon, but for the time being, I have 22 years of memories of playing shows in this city that I’ve been privileged to call home. It was a pleasure to see such a warm collection of friends and musical partners last night.

To my band: you are all astounding. You make this fun. This is not over by a long shot.


Loot

A friend posed the question, “What loot would drop from me when I die?”

I thought about how I would answer that question, and realized immediately that it would probably be guitar pics.


Folk Alliance

Heading to Kansas City for the Folk Alliance International Conference, at which I’ll be performing and presenting as part of their legal issues in the music industry panel!

If you’ll be there, let’s do stuff!

 

Folk yeah!
