“A reverent nod to deeply-rooted ole-time traditions, and an exhibit of sonic heirlooms carefully amended to meet a modern moment with vintage elegance” American Songwriter [Nora Brown]
“Stephanie Coleman’s fiddle is an extension of her entire being. Her playing is otherworldly, yet deeply rooted in tradition.” - Aoife O’Donovan
Nora Brown
Still in her teens, Nora Brown started learning music at the age of 6 and plays and sings traditional music with a focus on Southern Appalachian banjo and guitar styles.
She has played numerous venues and festivals in the US and Europe including the Newport Folk Festival, the Philadelphia Folk Festival, the Trans-Pecos Festival of Love in Marfa Texas, and Folk Holidays in the Czech Republic. She has performed on NPR’s Tiny Desk, TED Salon and WNYC’s Dolly Parton’s America Podcast.
Since 2019 she has released 3 albums on Brooklyn’s own Jalopy Records, all of which have charted on the Billboard Bluegrass Charts during the first week of release.
The New Yorker called her most recent record Long Time To Be Gone “a disarming collection of traditional laments and exquisite banjo instrumentals” while Fretboard Journal described her 2nd album Sidetrack My Engine as “some of the most interesting and haunting traditional music we’ve heard…impossibly talented”.

Nora Brown Biography
Nora was first introduced to old-time traditional music when she was six years old from her teacher, Shlomo Pescoe, a traditional music fanatic: he was as much of a historian as a musician. Each week she'd go into his home, replete with old-time memorabilia, and sit down for her lesson in the center of a circle of instruments. Though starting on the ukulele, with Shlomo's instruction, Nora began to learn a number of traditional instruments including the fiddle, mandolin and finally the banjo. This introduction to traditional music led to a deep love of the music and an appreciation for the history that comes along with it.
