Craig Brown Band represents the closer-to-Canada, mostly Midwestern take on a sound that has long belonged to Nashville. Consider this bastard child of Neko Case and Bob Seger. This is diet twang with a backbone. This is Northern Country.

Craig Brown is a Detroit hero and the closest thing to a proper mayor the city has had in years. He's one part blue collar and no parts ivory tower. He is a dude. He makes music. He is essential to the fabric of the scene. When he isn't constantly touring with Terrible Twos, Liquor Store, King Tuff, or running the merch table for Natural Child, you can find him behind the counter at El Club or Lager House or just around.
