Greg Brown Saturday, April 16, 8:00p.m.

Stephen B. Humphrey Theater, SJU

Greg Brown is just your ordinary Iowa Zen beatnik folkie, who happens to make nuanced and intelligent music. He was raised by a family that made music and words a way of life. Gospel, hymns, rock and roll, country, poetry and blues - all these coalesce in Greg’s music to form a simmering stew of folk music.
