These days, he creates songs rooted in the gentle musings of contemplative trailblazers like Carole King and James Taylor with modern touches similar to Damien Rice, Glen Hansard, and Iron & Wine.

Brown has managed to settle in and firmly find himself in the Americana/Indie-folk soundscape with his upcoming album “1000 Ways.” Titled and centered around the quote by Rumi that says, “when you are at your most lost, there are always at least a thousand ways to go home again.”, the album is a truly a collection of songs and stories about struggling to find purpose — to find belonging — to find home.
