Hello All, Welcome to Spring time in the Chicago, we've weathered a very trying winter now it's time for us to "bloom". So we're pulling out the summer clothes and I'm gettin' my Zoot Suit ready beause I've been introducing my new "Louis Jordan" tunes, to the band. It's so cool the city is honoring another legendary talent that influenced so much of the music we play and listen to today. I'm looking forward to emulating his style and charisma because in the coming months I'll be performing at the Chicago Blues Fest along with other major venues like the John Shedd Aquarium, Green Dolphin St., Taste of Chicago, and of course some of the many street fests we have every year. I want to send a shout out to the new friends I've made playing with "New Fuse", come see me at Silvie's on West Irving Pk Ave once a month. I also will be doing more shows with my good friend Liz Mandeville & her Bluepoints, and when possible I'll be teaming up with Johnny Cotton as part of the "Lubriphonic" horn section. As always you can catch me at BLUES with "Hotrod"a couple times each month, and once a month at Blues Bar in Mt Prospect I'll be appearing as the "Rodney Brown Duo" , just check the calendar for dates, & locations. I'd like to thank all my friends and supporters, without you I'd never have had the opportunity to follow my dream. First there's my ultimate taskmaster and fan, " Mama" who'll always be in my heart, instilled a love of all music in me at an early age, and there are people like Bill Collins who work tirelessly behind the scenes. Gail, Regina, Lauri, Mike, Donna, Ivy, Margaret, Delores, and many more of you who are great friends and fans, or Dave Freeman who gave me a chance at one of Chicago's foremost jazz venues or Rob from B.L.U.E.S. who always lets me express my blues "my way", just to name a few. Thanks to all of you. Feel free to call or e-mail me for any info on booking or appearances. Hope to see your faces in any of many places. Peace & Hairgrease, Rodney |
