Micah Brown

Micah Brown rolled the dice and left the 9-to-5 workforce in pursuit of a full-time music career in the summer of 2010. Since then, he hasn't looked back, accruing a colorful resume that includes: three critically-acclaimed studio releases, three Orange County Music Awards, countless North American tour dates and festival appearances, and a catalog of songwriting and performance credits as a session player at 17th Street Recording Studio. Brown’s original music derives from the blues, outlaw country and rock-n-roll that drenched the garage while building hot rods with his dad growing up, evident in his debut EP "Down Like Hail". Micah's first full-length record, "The Isle of Her", received multiple “Album of the Year” nominations following its August 2012 release, which elaborated on more of his musical influences. The addition of reggae and surf overtones helped Brown garner an underground following of passionate, grass-roots fans; the album debuted in the Top 20 on the iTunes Singer-Songwriter chart. In early 2012, Micah joined the Dirty Heads in the studio to work on their album "Cabin by the Sea", and on stage for numerous guest appearances including KROQ Weenie Roast and Cypress Hill's Smoke-Out Festival. The Micah Brown Band also made appearances at Doheny Days Festival, South by Southwest, and California Roots Festival, sharing stages with Weezer, Ben Harper, SOJA, Ziggy Marley, Cake, Donavon Frankenreiter, and many more. "Micah Brown is an avid player in putting Orange County on the map as an acclaimed music haven. . .who never disappoints with his unique approach to folk and blues." (Ben Kashuk, unEARTH Music Hub) Brown’s solo-acoustic performances have set him apart amidst a sea of folky singer-songwriters, while the full band has evolved into a musical force, featuring platinum-award-winning engineer/producer Lewis Richards, and vegan-triathlete-professional-surfer-violinist Jennifer Argenti, among a cast of several talented players. In early 2013, Micah joined Iration as full-time guitarist and backing vocalist, just in time for a memorable summer that included shows with Steel Pulse at the Orange County Fair and The Descendents at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Capping off his most productive year on the road, Brown released a limited 7-inch record featuring two brand-new songs "Gambles & Prospects", which is available exclusively on blue-swirl vinyl through Creme Tangerine Records. Micah's next release is a new single entitled "Roller Coaster", which will be available on iTunes in May 2014. Stay connected and find the latest news at www.micahbrownmusic.com.
