Greg Brown September 23, 2005

Greg Brown is the son of a preacher man (Pentecostal), and maybe that's the source of his uncanny charisma. Over three decades on the road and two in the recording studio, Brown has developed into the essential Midwestern songwriter, with a feel for the varieties of love and for what makes people and communities hang together. He's a compelling performer, aware that in folk music less is usually more and the intimate musical detail communicates as well as the grand gesture. Pieta Brown is Greg Brown's daughter. She's very far from a Greg Brown clone, but charisma and stage presence definitely run in the family. Visit Pieta's website at http://www.pietabrown.com/.
