KEVIN BROWN

Singer-songwriter Kevin Brown makes his home in rural Northeastern Washington state, not too far from the farms where two sets of great-grandparents settled a century ago. Living amidst the Ponderosa Pine forests and rivers that spill out of the Selkirk Mountains, it's not surprising that Landscape and Place play an important part in Kevin's songs. But the rich natural world of the surroundings is not just a backdrop, but also serves as a metaphor for exploring the landscapes of the heart and soul -- faith, family, love, the passage of time, and the interwoven fabric of earth and humanity. Brown made his debut as a songwriter with his album "The County Primaries" which No Depression called "easily one of the best debuts of 2010", and followed up with "The Beloved Country" in 2012, and "Book of Skies" in 2015. He also plays mandolin in the rhythm & bluegrass band Big Red Barn, hosts the radio show "Front Porch Bluegrass" on Spokane Public Radio, and is the music director for the Blue Waters Bluegrass Festival
