John John Brown - Songs, Stories & Art Lessons from Strangers

More Barn Studios, located in Stockton NJ, is excited to have John John Brown performing his wonderful and unique show Songs, Stories, and Art Lessons from Strangers, on Saturday, July 12th at 7:30 pm. RSVP today to save your spot.

Imagine a graphic novel coming to life with music.

That’s the idea behind Songs, Stories, & Art – Lessons from Strangers, a visually stunning and emotionally rich live show from award-winning songwriter John John Brown. With only a guitar, a projector, and a storyteller’s heart, Brown guides audiences through 14 compelling character portraits—each one brought to life with original hand-drawn comics and narrative-driven songs. It’s part concert, part illustrated story hour, and unlike anything else on stage today.

“So well written that every song could be a short story.” – Americana UK

No Depression calls John John Brown’s debut album The Road "a blend of astute Americana accompanied by a quiet, reflective glow", while Americana UK said his newest release is "so well written that every song could be a short story".  Post to Wire noted that “John Prine is a clear influence in the way Brown rolls astute observations and a humorous slant into his lyrics”. In recent years, John John has been chosen as a Kerrville New Folk winner and an Emerging Artist at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival.  Most notably, in concert, he is known for mixing storytelling songs with the visual arts creating “an imaginative musical performance woven into a unique visual experience.”
