About Junior Brown

JUNIOR BROWN

With his unique voice, more unique songwriting, and even more unique double-necked Guit-Steel guitar, there has absolutely never been ANYONE like Junior Brown. He's an American Original.

Early Life and Musical Beginnings

Born in 1952 in Cottonwood, Arizona, Junior Brown showed an affinity for music at an early age when the family moved to a rural area of Indiana near Kirksville. In the following years, Junior began to experience Country music and remembers it as growing up out of the ground like the crops—it was everywhere; coming out of cars, houses, gas stations, and stores like the soundtrack of a story.

Discovery of Guitar

Country music programs on TV hadn't really come along much yet, not until the late fifties. Discovering a guitar in his grandparents' attic, he spent the next several years woodshedding with records and the radio. Junior was also able to tap into music he couldn't hear at home, which older, college-aged kids were listening to.

Broadening Musical Horizons

This was possible due to his father's employment at small campuses throughout the next decade as the family moved twice again. As a young boy, he was able to experience the thrill of performing before live audiences, at parties, school functions, even singing and playing guitar for five thousand Boy Scouts at an Andrews Air Force Base jamboree. Then while still a teenager, he got the chance to sit in with Rock and Roll pioneer, Bo Diddley.

Musical Development

Armed with this broad spectrum of influences, he began to develop a storehouse of musical chops.
