GRAHAM BROWN BAND
Graham Brown and his longtime band—guitarist/keyboardist Rob Blackburn, bassist John Werner, and drummer Mark Gruft—are a sonic force, channeling decades of chemistry into electrifying rock that’s both timeless and urgent. Based in Vancouver, the Graham Brown Band has been a global draw since their 2011 album *Hiwatt*, with *Outside Within* (2024) cementing their status as road-tested masters. Recorded live in one fiery afternoon at Hipposonic Studios, their 12-song latest blends Tom Petty’s heartland swagger, Neil Young’s raw edge, and Brown’s blistering guitar solos, as heard in tracks like “Courage Comes” and “Graveyard Trees.” From legendary stages like The Cavern Club to The Roxy, they bring a spontaneous, joyous energy that *Americana UK* praised for its “joie de vivre.” With Brown’s 400+ songs fueling their fire, the band’s all about staying true, delivering performances that hit hard and leave you wanting more.
