One of American folk music's most prolific and profound singer/songwriters, Greg Brown has earned respect from his peers and a far-flung, passionately-devoted fan-base via a burnished, intimate baritone, a seemingly effortless gift for swinging, organic melody and--perhaps most of all--a humble, unvarnished poetic grace that can imbue even the most mundane, everyday human endeavors and emotions with quiet dignity, startling insight and gently twisted humor.
Last at The Shedd in 2011, Brown returns on tour in support of his latest album Hymns To What Is Left. Fueled by a signature rumbling baritone voice, Brown’s previous Freak Flag was stunning in its tenderness and unfiltered emotional depth; beyond that, it found Brown reenergized to the recording process, making way for his latest truly potent tour de force, Hymns To What Is Left.
Special guest Love Over Gold, featuring Pieta Brown & & Lucie Thorne, opens.
