Two Remaining Shows in 2012

Posted on October 16th, by jeff in Uncategorized. No Comments

The band has been added to a pair of high-profile shows to end the year — after taking the month of October off to rest and regroup, we will be performing twice before the end of the year.

On Friday, November 16th, the band is opening the Chicago Roots Collective Annual Festival at the Beat Kitchen.  Doors open at 7pm, and I play sharp at 8pm.  I’ll be joined by fellow CAUDog label mates The Future Laureates, as well as A Band Called Catch, Molehill, and The Ewing Theory.  Tickets are only $10, and you can get them online here before they sell out!

Last Chance Album Review – Adobe & Teardrops

Posted on September 20th, by jeff in Uncategorized. No Comments

Rachel from Adobe & Teardrops had this to say about the album:

“Brown’s vocals — which I suspect are modeled after James Taylor’s attempts to sound unpolished — work best when surrounded with others’ voices. Also, the songs from “Grace” onward are more musically adventurous — ranging between jazz, classical, and roots, the sheer inventiveness of these compositions deserve your attention.”

Last Chance Album Review – Scene Magazine

Posted on August 10th, by jeff in Uncategorized. No Comments

Emily Clingman of Scene Magazine in Ft. Collins, CO had this to say about the album:

“Self described indie-folk artist, Jeff Brown has a lot going for him musically. His voice is smooth and windy, his lyrics haunting … Backed by an acoustic guitar, a violin and a divine female voice, melancholy lyrics …  still sound lovely amid the delicate harmonies and meandering string riffs. Brown’s 11-song album, Last Chance, is well worth the listen”

Additionally, physical copies are available through me directly.  Send a message to jeff @ chicagoacoustic.net  and I will send you a payment address.  For $18 (covers the album cost, shipping, and the 2 mile round trip to the post office) I … Read More »
