Graham Brown Band
Graham Brown was born in Dundee on 24th May 1978 into a family surrounded by music and with music in its history too.
Graham's grandfather, uncles and aunties, mother and father and his 3 brothers are all deeply involved in music, It was easy to see from an early age Graham was going to be very musical and this was evident during his childhood.
Through the years Graham has been part of many projects and musical activities but he himself always says he learnt most of his trade whilst touring with his father's band from the ages of 13 to 18, during that time Graham also ran a mobile disco and a small duo act working in pubs and clubs all over Scotland, gaining a huge knowledge of sound engineering and technical understanding of musical equipment.
A few years later, together with two of Graham's brothers (Eddie & Derek) they started a rock cover band in Dundee called Electric soup. This band was very successful and worked all over Scotland and Germany, a few visits to Germany as Graham's other brother (Danny) at this time was a leading side drummer in the world famous Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, Danny went on to become Drum Major of the band and toured the world with them, only this year Danny retired from the RSDG, Danny was based in Fallingbostel in Germany for almost 17 years.
During this time Graham had started to develop a love for writing songs and found himself spending more and more time with an acoustic guitar writing down tunes and lyrics. After almost 10 years working with a cover band Graham started to look for something more creative and something he was going to satisfy his song writing with so Graham posted adverts everywhere looking for like-minded musicians to form a band to create original songs and tunes, with the hope of performing and recording. A man from Fife called David Lindsay answered one of Grahams adverts and the two musicians met in a venue called McDaniel's in Dundee around 2009. Graham and David formed a great relationship as they found they had a huge amount of musical ideas in common, the main one being Celtic rock bands such as Runrig and wolf stone. Graham and David met up several times but struggled to find other musicians to form a band with, both Graham and David decided to keep looking and stay in touch as much as possible.
Late in 2010 Graham had a phone call from a man called Micheal Callaghan (CAL) asking him to join his band as they were looking for a bass player and found one of Graham's adverts on the internet outlining the words Celtic rock. Graham joined the band CAL only to find out that the bands drummer was a man called David Lindsay.
During Graham's time with the band Cal, they recorded an EP (called CAL) and later an Album (called Turning the Tide), both had some of Graham's songs on them, but one very important song, that proved very popular very quickly with all the audiences at live gigs, the song was called 'I can hear the nation' Graham tells us this song was written when he was inspired by watching the Scottish election results late after polling day in 2011 when the Scottish National party swept to power overwhelmingly, Graham said it was all he was able to think, I can hear this nations voice loud and clear tonight.
The band CAL split up in 2012 due to musical differences.
After a quiet month or two, Graham and David decided that they would start another band and continue this writing alliance that seemed to work so well, The band Amber Road was born.
Amber Road have released 3 EP's to date, the first one was called 'Amber Road' the second one called 'Working Man' and the third one called 'Storm'.
Graham left Amber Road in June 2014 and it was during this time Graham decided to put together his own band so he was able to record more of his commercial and pop songs and tunes as well as the Celtic/rock element of his song writing, this band is called THE GRAHAM BROWN BAND.
The Graham Brown Band is not long established and working hard to rehearse and perform live as much as possible, with 4 songs released thus far with another two and an EP due to be released in November 2014
