When virtuosity, intuition, and pure soul meet, the results are magical. And that kind of magic — steeped in the sounds, tradition, and spirit of Memphis — is (Brother) Paul Brown’s specialty. The GRAMMY® Winning Nashville, Tennessee-based musician, songwriter, and producer is a roots world MVP, but his abilities truly extend beyond any genre to encompass his vision. That’s abundantly clear when Brown’s behind the keyboard. Whether on stage or in the studio, his signature approach and passionate energy are both unmistakable. In addition to the gliding melodies, elongated textures, and churning chords, Brown displays a stunning, highly original vocabulary on the instrument — enhancing and reflecting the vocal performances of compelling singers like Rush, Peebles, Deborah Bonham, and Mighty Sam McClean with voice-like effects — hums, stutters, exclamations, and lines that trail off like sentences. It’s that musical conversation he alludes to, in a very literal sense. “CRAZY TO THINK THAT I WENT FROM GROWING UP IN A SCHOOL FOR THE HOMELESS TO RUNNING AWAY BACK TO MEMPHIS AT SEVENTEEN WITH NOTHING MORE THAN A TRUMPET LOUSISE MANDRELL GIFTED ME AND A ROAD ATLAS, TO LIVING IN ALOST EVERY PARK IN MEMPHIS AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER, TO THREE GRAMMY® NOMINATIONS AND THIS MOST RECENT GRAMMY® WIN!” And the world is listening. Brown’s accolades include a 2020 GRAMMY® Win for his keyboard work on Gloria Gaynor’s Grammy®-winning Gospel album Testimony, following his 2014 GRAMMY® Nomination for “Best Soul Blues Album" for producing, engineering, and mixing Bobby Rush's Down In Louisiana, and the 2012 Blues Music Award for “Best Soul Blues Album of the Year” for the same duties on Bobby Rush’s Show You a Good Time, both at his own Ocean Soul Studios, which was built by Brown and his wife, New Age artist April Brown. That same year, he won the Jackson (Mississippi) Music Award for “Best International Producer of the Year.” What’s striking about Brown, besides his stellar musical abilities, is his attitude. He is perpetually upbeat and strikingly un-jaded. “That’s just my personality,” he explains. “I’ve played on some of the world’s biggest stages, and I’ve gone without food for days, but I’ve always loved every minute that I’m making music.” His resume embraces stage, television, and session work across the U.S. and Europe with the Waterboys, Mike Farris, Whitesnake’s Reb Beach, Derek St. Holmes, Al Green, Deborah Bonham, George Clinton, Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Rickey Medlocke, Hi Records Alumni Don Bryant, the Mother Station, Otis Clay, Bettye LaVette, the Bar-Kays, Isaac Hayes, and many others. “I feel like I’m at a wonderful place in my life musically,” Brown declares. “I’m getting to do all of the styles of music I want to do. That stretches from a beautiful New Age to Rock, Soul, Acid Blues, Jazz, Roots Gospel and Americana. "I’M AT THE TOP OF MY GAME CREATIVELY, AND I’M HAVING A BALL. FOR ME, IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC AND ALL ABOUT HEART AND SOUL.”…When virtuosity, intuition, and pure soul meet, the results are magical.
