Junior Brown-Live August 23, 2010
Following years as Austin’s best-kept secret, then a few more as the town’s one must-see act for visiting musicians and label heads, Junior Brown and his music have since found an audience far beyond the Lone Star border. Junior’s first two albums (12 Shades of Brown and Guit With It) have helped establish him as a crowd favorite from Texas roadhouses to the hippest clubs of New York City and Europe. In Junior’s hands, the guit-steel is an amazing tool, a means to creating some of the hottest, most heartfelt playing heard in years (and in a town like Austin, that’s saying something). His talents have led major magazines like Musician to herald Junior as a genius. Junior’s got several Austin gigs in the early September, including performing in Studio 1A with Jay Trachtenberg.
