BIO

His new record, Contender, ties the two together with lean, clear imagery and fully realized compositions."PRESS FOR 'SLOW BOAT'Tone Madison: "Nick Brown’s first album begins with the somber, arresting ‘Living That Way’ and proceeds to resourcefully bounce in all manner of directions, all the while retaining sparse, dignified arrangements... one of the best singer-songwriter records a local artist has released in recent years.”
