About the Artist
A resident of Austin, Texas, Brown has played and/or recorded with an impressive list of blues greats such as Albert Collins, Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, James Cotton, Dr. John, Memphis Slim, and Earl King. She was also a mainstay of the formidable Antone's rhythm section, performing on numerous recordings for that label. Sarah toured with the Antone's Blues Revue as well as the Black Top Records All-Stars, has been profiled in both Bass Player and Guitar Player magazines, and was voted Best Bass Player in the Austin Chronicle Awards four years in a row and Austin's Music City News for five consecutive years. Her first single, the self-penned "Bad Boy's Pride," was named Best Single in the Austin Chronicle Awards.
Brown has made guest appearances with Bonnie Raitt at Farm Aid 2 and with Raitt and Nick Lowe at the T-Bird Rhythm Fest and has played contemporary yet rootsy arena rock on tours with Mason Ruffner and Paul Carrack. More recently, Sarah has ventured into producing, working with Lavelle White.
She's also an accomplished songwriter, with her original songs having been cut by Marcia Ball, Lou Ann Barton, Angela Strehli, Joe Louis Walker, and Lavelle White. In a review of the Antone's Women CD in Request , Dan Emerson wrote, "The real surprise here is the song-writing contributions of Sarah Brown. I assumed Brown's tune 'Turn The Lock On Love' had been unearthed from the archives of Memphis, Motown, or some other classic soul mecca, until I noted the writer's credit."
