GRAHAM BROWN SOLO

Graham Brown’s solo work, particularly his 2023 album *Solo*, is a masterclass in raw, unfiltered artistry that showcases his growth as a singer/songwriter and guitarist. Stepping away from his electric band, the Vancouver icon challenged himself to strip things down to just his voice, acoustic guitar, and harmonica, delivering 12 original songs that pulse with honesty. Tracks like the radiant “Twister Like” and the haunting “You Are The Stars” weave intricate chord progressions and soaring melodies, drawing from Bob Dylan and Tom Petty while echoing Alex Chilton’s soulful pop. For Brown, a veteran of Canada’s cow-punk scene, *Solo* was a bold evolution, reflecting real-life tales of love, loss, and forgiveness with zero compromise. “It’s about the honesty in the song and its delivery,” he says, cementing his rep as a craftsman who’s always pushing forward.
