About Junior Brown

The missing link between the raw Bakersfield sound of vintage Merle Haggard and Buck Owens and the rougher, punk-influenced alt-country bands, Junior Brown is a unique blend of tradition and innovation. Born Jamieson Brown in Kirksville, Indiana, on June 12, 1952, Brown is a former university music professor whose self-invented instrument, the guit-steel, is a two-necked hybrid of a standard electric guitar and a lap steel. Although Brown had been playing music professionally since his teens, his solo career started with two 1993 albums, 12 SHADES OF BROWN and GUIT WITH IT. His most commercially successful release was 1996's SEMI-CRAZY.
