Matt Brown - Roots Musician Matt Brown performs American roots music with a a deft touch and a smile. He is an engaging performer who educates his audiences as he entertains with a varied program of traditional music. He plays sprightly square dance tunes, haunting banjo pieces, and sings a variety of songs from the blues to traditional ballads. Many of his influences come from commercial recordings of the 1920's and 1930's. He is a solo performer, a musician with two dance ensembles (the FiddleKicks and Rhythm in Shoes), has made guest appearances with several touring acts (Tim O'Brien, Uncle Earl, The Wilders, Crooked Still), and is an active teacher. He has several albums to his credit ("Lone Prairie" and the instructional recording "Old-Time Fiddle Lesson, Vol. 1"). He is also a partner in the independent label 5-String Productions.
