Oli Brown Bio:
Rising to the top of the British blues scene in just four short years, Oli Brown is quickly becoming the player to watch.
Brown has shared the stage with such famous players as Blinddog Smokin', Buddy Guy, John Mayall and Walter Trout.
Signed to Ruf Records in 2008, Oli Brown released Open Road to critical acclaim; Blues Matters! named it the #2 album of 2008 and Classic Rock declared that Oli had "the blues under his fingernails like few of his peers." Adding to the year's accolades, the Oli Brown Band was the only British act selected for the 2008 International Blues Convention in Memphis, TN. Following the convention, Brown was invited by John Fry of Ardent Studios to record a live session (which scored 1.3 million hits in under a month)!
In 2010, Brown lured legendary British producer Mike Vernon (veteran of benchmarks like 1966's Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton) out of retirement to helm his second album Heads I Win, Tails You Lose. Upon its release in April 2010, Mojo dubbed Brown "the hottest young pistol in British blues," Uncut praised him as "a British bluesman to rival Trucks and Bonamassa" and the British Blues Awards voted Brown 2010's Best Male Vocalist and Best Young Artist. The success and accolades didn't stop there. In 2011, Brown earned more awards from the British Blues Awards (2011 Best Band and Best Album), performed 25 gigs with John Mayall and concluded the year as Mayall's lead guitarist at the Indonesian Blues Festival. In January 2012, Brown performed on a Black Keys tribute album for Cleopatra Records which included the likes of Iggy Pop, Johnny Winter and Walter Trout (among others).
NEW ALBUM RELEASE
Oli’s new album, Here I Am, (mastered by Brain Lucey, fresh from The Black Keys’ El Camino album) release in April 2012 to rave reviews that propelled the cd to the top of the UK and Germany charts and one of the hottest downloaded CDs on iTunes and Amazon. For this 22-year-old, blues isn’t just a job, an easy paycheck or a shot at cheap celebrity: it’s his passion and raison-d’être. “I picked the wrong genre of music to be a celebrity,” Oli laughs. “I just want to be a credible musician!”
