Playing venues from New England area, 
southwest to Mississippi Delta, south to 
New Orleans and east to the Piedmont region 
and south again to Florida, spreading the 
good news of Roots Blues, Electric Blues 
and Americana.

Rich Brown has been fiddlin' around with a guitar since 1969. He now lives in Florida, surfs when he can and plays the Blues he loves. Anything is possible under tough circumstances, that is what made him who he is today. And now he's come up to loving to play this music that speaks to him. His music is rooted in the Blues.  He is playing and singing the music he loves.  Nearly every time he gigs, folks stop to listen because this music is a little different and grabs their attention. At some point at every gig he is asked "what is that stuff?" This stuff is where much of what we all listen to now sprang from, roots music some call it. People laugh crazy during one song and mellow down during the next, then he'll play something raucous to bring them back up and smiling. That is the height of his enjoyment, seeing this music affect others like it has him. It's why he chases it, because it got in him, real deep. Much of what he plays comes from Delta, Piedmont and Country Blues, some from Chicago and some has become classic Americana.  W.C. Handy Award winners Paul Rishell and Annie Raines (www.paulandannie.com/mojorodeo/) introduced him to the music of Blind Boy Fuller, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Tommy Johnson, Robert Johnson, Scrapper Blackwell, Barbecue Bob, the list goes on. When he plays, he tells his story with these influences present. Some call it Folk Blues because it's what the 'folks" play. This is the real thing.  Rich keeps that vibe rolling on.

The Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, located in West Palm Beach, Florida, is one of the premier performing arts centers in the Southeast with a growing national and international reputation. True to the spirit in which it was created, the Center is expanding programming by initiating projects on local, national and international levels. The world-class Kravis Center opened fully funded, with a total construction cost of $100 million, of which a remarkable $49 million came from private individuals and corporations. The Kravis Center is a success story that provides communities worldwide with an example of a thriving performing arts center and a major community and economic catalyst. Set on 10.6 acres of property at the highest point in the city, the Kravis Center includes four venues -- the 2,195-seat Alexander W. Dreyfoos, Jr. Concert Hall, the flexible 289-seat Rinker Playhouse, the 170-seat Helen K. Persson Hall and the outdoor Michael and Andrew Gosman Amphitheatre with a capacity for 1,400 patrons. The Center’s Cohen Pavilion houses the Weiner Banquet Center, The Picower Foundation Arts Education Center and The Elmore Family Business Center for the Arts, along with a five-level parking garage.

After celebrating our 22nd season the number of events hosted annually has grown to more than 800, with attendance of more than 500,000 patrons. Many regionally based arts organizations call the Kravis Center their home including Miami City Ballet, Palm Beach Opera, and the Palm Beach Pops. During the 2013-2014 season, the Kravis Center itself will present more than 350 performances featuring acclaimed artists from every discipline. Established as a leading force in the social fabric of the community, its many outreach programs are as broad and varied as the community itself. To date, the Center has opened the door to the performing arts for more than 1.7 million school children as well as thousands of economically disadvantaged senior citizens, minorities and community groups.
