Greg Brown is difficult to pin down. A singer-songwriter who's been performing for nearly 30 years, his songs have been covered by Carlos Santana and Joan Baez, and yet he remains a relatively obscure musical figure. His deep, weathered baritone voice has been heard alongside public radio legend Garrison Keillor, as well as college radio legend Ani DiFranco. He has traveled throughout the country, worked in New York and Los Angeles, but chooses to live on his grandparents' hilly, wooded farmstead in southeast Iowa. The farm is a place that Brown, who spent much of his childhood moving from town to town, calls home – a theme that appears frequently in his music.
