Bushmaster featuring Gary Brown

The Blues comes to the Loft!

Gary Brown loves playing guitar, and loves playing/performing for people - the more the better. Events are a great way for him to share his love of guitar and music with a wide spectrum of music lovers. It's easy to see, from watching him perform, how connected he is to the music - he emotes - making sure each note counts, conveying not only the melody of each song, but the emotion behind them.

Bushmaster featuring Gary Brown, a funky-cool-blues-rock-original music power trio based in the DC/MD/PA area have put out five self-produced albums containing some socially conscious lyrics. Gary writes all the lyrics and most of the music, and is in the process of creating new tunes - thus utilizing his downtime due to the pandemic, to write, while he waited till it was safe to perform live again.

Growing up in the Maryland suburbs of DC, Gary absorbed/explored as much music as possible, and picked up the guitar at the age of 12, teaching himself, and learning and playing with other players as much as possible. He used to carry his guitar with him everywhere, even to work, and play on the breaks and while waiting for public transportation. He formed Bushmaster in 1993 with a friend, after stints in other local acts, and has performed under the moniker ever since.

Among their many performances, Bushmaster is thrilled to have participated at several festivals including Tinner Hill Blues Fest, H Street Festival, Silver Spring Blues Festival, DelMarVa Bike Week, and Central PA Festival of the Arts, just to name a few.

Gary’s music tackles social topics from his own perspective and includes topics such as police profiling, inner city violence, environmental issues, current political strife, and veganism amongst other more traditional blues topics.
