_No Depression _calls John John Brown’s debut album The Road "a blend of astute Americana accompanied by a quiet, reflective glow", while Americana UK said his newest release is "so well written that every song could be a short story". In recent years, Brown has been chosen as a Kerrville New Folk winner and an Emerging Artist at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival.  Most notably, in concert, he is known for mixing storytelling songs with the visual arts creating “an imaginative musical performance woven into a unique visual experience.”
