BGM presents The Timmy Brown Band and The Mark Russell Experience
Over the course of a musical journey that has taken him from Norton, Massachusetts to Nashville, Timmy Brown has merged a deep devotion to the country genre with a distinct vocal clarity and songwriting style to create an expressive and energetic sound all his own. Brown’s debut EP, Leave This Town, was released in April 2016 and on April 18 of that year, his first single (“Lil Bit”) was released on iTunes, where it reached the Top 100 charts in a mere 24 hours. In May 2021, Brown released his first independent LP, Good Life, which was praised by the likes of American Songwriter and Music Row, while also landing on editorial playlists on Spotify, YouTube Music and Tidal. Along the way, he has notched numerous accolades – Brown was voted New England Country Music’s Local Male Artist of the Year four straight times and finished in the top 60 contestants on the first season of the ‘American Idol’ reboot on ABC – and has opened for popular artists such as Dustin Lynch, Kane Brown, LANCO and Lindsey Ell while earning a loyal fanbase thanks to his unique ability to draw in and connect with audiences.
Mark Russell is a violinist, composer, and teacher. He began studying violin at the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne, Australia. In his late teens, he became interested in Jazz, Blues and traditional music from Ireland and Australia. Joining The Sundowners in 1983, he toured extensively around the world, and began to incorporate musical styles from India, China, and Indonesia into his compositions and improvisations. He performed in front of stadium crowds with The Sundowners during a 3 month tour as opening act for Dire Straits in 1986. Meanwhile, his interest in Jazz and Blues continued to grow through direct contact with artists such as Stephane Grappelli and Brownie Macgee. In 1991 he left The Sundowners and moved to Paris, where he continued to explore diverse venues for violin performance in theater as well as clubs. Moving to the United States in 1994, he formed the groups Paris Match, and Ekyo, recording cds with both. He also toured as featured artist with the Phat Cat, a Soul/R&B group. Highlights include concerts at The House of Blues in New Orleans and in Chicago, the Capitol Jazz festival in Washington D.C., and on The Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage. His Phat Cat backed performance of Ain't no Sunshine was an R&B hit in 2000 and was recently included on the Atlantic records compilation Rare Requests.
