Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Brown Out

“Your favorite songwriter’s favorite songwriter.” That’s one of those worn-out aphorisms used by lazy critics around the globe to describe all manner of marginally underappreciated tunesmiths — whether true or not. But in the case of Greg Brown, the phrase is absolutely appropriate. Brown is revered by his peers — and other fans — for his singularly insightful, visceral songwriting style. He is, quite simply, a treasure. Brown plays the Tupelo Music Hall in White River Junction this Saturday, June 25.
