Greg Brown coming to the Fremont Theater

Greg Brown was born in the Hacklebarney section of southeastern Iowa and raised by a family that made words and music a way of life. His seasoned songwriting, storytelling, and music are deeply rooted in that place. He moves audiences with warmth, humor, a thundering voice and his unpretentious musical vision.
The founder of exemplary indie folk label Red House Records (with more than 200 titles to date), he’s also been a tireless champion for numerous humanitarian causes. At the personal request of Jeff Bridges, Brown also contributed two songs (including “Brand New Angel”) which were recorded by Bridges for his Oscar-winning role as rugged, faded country star ‘Bad Blake’ in the Oscar-nominated “Crazy Heart.” Greg is also the former musical director for Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion radio program.
