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.

Get A Taste of (and FOR) Jazz at Pompano Beach's Bailey Contemporary Arts in March, April & May


JAZZ Returns to Pompano Beach!
TICKETS
Join your jazz friends for a new kind of combo! A Taste of Jazz at Bailey Contemporary Arts will feature entertaining and educational encounters with the musical genre, accompanied by wine tastings. The introduction to jazz series will showcase the musicians of the Gold Coast Jazz Society Band, under the direction of Martin Hand.  The sessions will take place from 7-9 pm on March 7, April 4 and May 2, 2019.  Tickets $10-$20 per event. For more information www.baileyarts.org.

“A Taste of Jazz is a fun way to learn more about the celebrated musical genre without feeling intimidated or overwhelmed,” said Jody Leshinsky, Cultural Venues Programming Manager. “So many people want to learn more about this original American art form but do not know where to begin. We created this event series for them! And by adding wine tastings from local vendors, it will truly become a fun-filled social event.”

The Gold Coast Jazz Society has been a major presenter of jazz concerts, jazz education and jazz outreach programs in Broward County since 1992. They have maintained and preserved the heritage of jazz by presenting the music celebrating jazz's evolution over the past 100 years.   
Session Topics:

March 7, 2019
What’s This Thing Called Jazz?  - A jazz trio (guitar/vocals, bass and drums) will introduce you to the musical form called jazz.  There is no better example of democracy than listening to a jazz ensemble.  You will hear how an ensemble adheres to the overall framework and structure of a song yet provides their own spin on the music through improvisation.   
April 4, 2019 
Where in the World is Jazz? – Where did jazz originate and how did it get to what it is today?  Join Martin Hand and the trio as they explore the origins of the music of jazz, how it moved throughout America and became the music it is today.     
May 2, 2019 
Jazz Forward -   Hear samples of how jazz is evolving and connecting with other forms of music.  Martin and the musicians of the Gold Coast Jazz Society Band will give you peek into the future of jazz.      
Bailey Contemporary Arts
