Brown is a music group of Earth, primarily from North America, Asia, and Europe. The group was formed in 1990, but didn’t find it’s formal name of “Brown”TM until 2004 (Brown is also known as “The Brown Project”TM inspired by the only internet name available that was close to describing what it’s all about for the group: thebrownproject.net). A myriad of names came before, “Gary’s Garage” in the 1990’s morphed into “Ignition” in the early 2000’s. The band started with, and currently consists of Brett St Germain, however, there have been many permutations of musician’s to play in the group. Hundreds of musician’s have actually joined with Brown throughout the years on albums, singles, recordings, and live performances. Instrumentalists and talents range from, Orchestras, Bluegrass Bands, Rock Bands, Jazz Bands, Hip Hop Artists, A cappella Chorus’s, and differing Classical music ensembles. Jon Shoulders is a name that deserves recognition as the longest running member of the band. Jon has fills the roll of drummer, guitarist, vocalist, engineer, producer (in the studio), and at venues ranging from Basements, to Coffee Shops, to Bars. Brown’s music has been played on every continent excluding Antartica (any known playing anyway). Behind the United States of America, the groups second largest following is in Russia, third is Brazil. Brown currently performs live in Austin TX 3 times a week at differing Potbelly Sandwich shops with a 6 string orchestra/vocal collaboration : https://www.thebrownproject.net/performance-dates.html & http://www.potbelly.com/Company/MusicianProfile.aspx?MusicianId=809

Brown also plays private parties and does travel.

Brett St Germain has composed over 3,000 songs for Brown, but only released one album “Orange” in 2004. Rumor has it, a second albums is in the works as of this writing in 2016.

Brett St Germain is also an image nut, and has just started shooting music videos. Three examples can be found here (also of course check IG @thebrownproject): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj6Fd1aDQ3M7_Hd4PhRlYWQ
