Kevin Brown

Kevin Brown is one of the UK’s most respected blues guitarists, singers and songwriters, renowned for his masterful slide guitar playing and lifelong commitment to the blues tradition. Born in Bamber Bridge, Lancashire, in 1950, he discovered the music as a teenager after seeing Muddy Waters and Sister Rosetta Tharpe on television, beginning a passion that has shaped his career for more than four decades. While busking in London’s Portobello Road in the late 1960s, Kevin met the legendary Delta bluesman Son House. Their encounter proved pivotal, with House informally mentoring the young musician and leaving a lasting influence on Kevin’s distinctive slide guitar style.
