Uptown Brown

A singing gentleman-adventurer performing a roving program of primitive 1920’s-1930’s jazz and blues on a self invented one man band. A wily mix of connivance and stuff from the shed, his contraption is built from cedar, leather and brass. 

Vocals & fingerpicked ukulele are amplified through old megaphones, mimicking the effect of a 78 record. A quality musical and roving act in the finest tradition of vaudeville and ragtime, performance highlights include multiple years at Woodford Festival, Dark Mofo, Port Fairy Folk Festival, National Folk Festival, Blue Mountains Music Festival, Blues on Broadbeach, Sydney Festival and many more good times!
