One of the truly great musicians of our time. His quirky profound songs and rootsy musicianship make him the peer of Lucinda Williams, U2 and Johnny Cash.

An unpretentious, compelling, and humorous performer with a dark, rich, idiosyncratic voice, Greg Brown is, hands down, one of America's great singer-songwriters. His insightful lyrics paint powerful and often deceptively simple images on a canvas of gospel, blues, country, rock, and jazz. The son of a guitar-playing poet and a banjo-picking Pentecostal preacher, he was born in the Hacklebarney section of southeastern Iowa. At age 10 he found a Big Bill Broonzy album in Kansas, and his fate was sealed. Over time he recorded a spate of critically acclaimed records and began touring nationally, earning his way into the most prestigious theaters and festivals throughout the country. Brown is returning to Albuquerque to promote his new album, The Evening Call, one of the finest records in his nearly 30-year career, a blend of rough country, sweet folk, dark blues and slow grooves. Recorded in Memphis with longtime sideman Bo Ramsey, The Evening Call is great collection of heartfelt and powerful songs.
