The bar has been raised and the standard set. When you encounter a musician as gifted as Larry Brown, Jr. you understand why he is a rare find. His talent stands out amongst the rest. He is the game changer that is pushing musical boundaries in a refreshingly new direction.
As a guitarist, composer, singer/songwriter, producer and educator Brown is in a lane all his own. It was in the small town of Venice, IL that he, at 5 years old, began plucking the strings of his fathers guitar. The rest was history as he ventured on to pursue his big city dreams.
In 2009, Brown graduated with his Masters degree in Jazz Studies from Northern Illinois University. While under the tutelage of his mentor, Ron Carter, Brown was exposed to and influenced by several jazz legends such as Russell Malone, Pat Martino, Bucky and John Pizzarelli and John Scofiel. Brown was also heavily inspired by 7-string guitarist, Rick Haydon. Haydon was his first jazz guitar teacher in undergrad while attending Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.
Brown has played across the country and abroad in festivals such as the St. Louis Jazz Festival, JVC Jazz Festival New York and South Americas Lima Jazz Festival. Hes also performed with the Better Carter Jazz Ahead Residency in The Kennedy Center, one of the most prestigious venues in Washington D.C..
This year, Brown made his acting debut on FOXs hit television series, EMPIRE, where he played recording artist, Snoop Doggs lead guitar player. This will also be the year he releases his highly anticipated sophomore album, This Music & This Moment with his band COLOUR.
Unlike his well-received debut album, There Can Only Be One, released in 2011, Brown is taking a more daring approach with his follow-up. Fans can expect this project to be more fusion-based with elements of rhythm and blues, gospel and rock.
Browns music resonates with a greater purpose. His passion for music and philanthropy led him to found the Black Church Music Piano camp. Hes been recognized with several awards, including the Woody Herman Humanitarian Award from Birch Creek Music Performance Center.
Brown is an artist whose journey is both unique and compelling. A natural born leader with unlimited promise and potential. His path has been laid and the road ahead is full of possibility.
