Tommy Brown (12)

Tommy Brown cut his teeth on classic traditional bluegrass. A third generation musician, Tommy began pickin' the five-string banjo at age six. His powerful banjo style garnered him both the Kentucky State and the Tennessee State Banjo Championships and his powerful pickin' style and soulful vocals embrace his passion for the mountain-style bluegrass music he performs today. From 1981 to 1990 Tommy played for his uncle's band, ‘Jim Simpson & Kentucky Mountain Grass.’ After that group disbanded, Tommy decided to start his own band with a group of friends who lived just across the county line, ‘Tommy Brown & the County Line Grass’.
