The Browns
The Browns are singer-songwriters who started singing together in 2019 after reconnecting in 2015. They met as teenagers at a school dance and lost touch after arrangements for their first date went awry, but the intervening years has given them plenty of material for their songs. Known for their rich and expressive blend of voices in harmony they have performed at festivals and folk club venues across East Anglia and beyond.
