Biography


Phil Brown & Apaches From Paris...Los Angelean transplant-so-what's up?

Once in a while someone great shows up out of the blue...did I say BLUE? A real guitar-hero-gunslinger...A "have guitar-will travel" 6 string avatar . . . classically trained on the violin from childhood. Born in San Francisco and raised in Los Alamos, New Mexico, the home of the atomic BOOM! Turn out the lights and the guy glows in the dark...are you with me?
OK...not everybody survives in La-Lah Land or do they?

LA is a tough place...the endless summer, where the good die young and Jung has the blues coming out of every worn out wrinkle on his couch! Meanwhile, the guy's got quite a story. (Now, this oughta' be a movie!) This celebrated singer, is a songwriter, guitarist extraordinaire and a multi-instrumentalist, arranger, engineer, producer...funky but beautiful.
Don't we all like to think that we know the difference between the rock and the hard place? Even if you went the distance, say, 3 minutes and 17 seconds this guy is the big wide open. So many other artist's have cut his songs! from Cher to Benatar, Kim Carnes, Kix, KBC, Ace Frehley, Bonnie Tyler, Dora Pesch, Steve Perry, Jack Bruce's Band to Willy Dee and Tower of Power-TV and film credits galore, just to name a few-and that's when he wasn't even trying....ya'dig?

Ok-now to the present-the guy flies over to Paris & gets a French record label deal. Nobody here in the states was hip to the pleasure...yet!
The ToneQuest Report discovers him. Someone sends his CD to a radio station to London, England and voila!!! A very hip underground/cutting edge DJ Pete Sargeant airs Phil Brown & Apaches From Paris-'Cruel Inventions' on his radio show www.resonancefm.com and the switchboard almost blows up. Next thing y'know-NPR's Mick Martin hears about it and begins a whole airplay thing on him in the US. Other radio stations start to discover Phil Brown & Apaches From Paris. All around the world from Qatar to Sao Paulo, Europe to Australia-they all have his music on the airwaves and if that's not enough he has "Phil Brown/The Jimi Project" which is blowing everybody's mind and a new single "California Zen" coming soon. It's in the top 10 on several radio/internet stations in the US and Europe...number one on www.compo10.com in Finland. Napster's new artist Austin Hanks has also released "California Zen" as his new single.

It's true....nobody goes home singing a guitar solo...until now. By the way, in case you're wondering, Phil Brown & Apaches From Paris are not coming your way soon...they're already here!

Alain Murphy, NY City, 2005
