biography
Tim Brown has been performing as a singer/songwriter/guitarist for over twenty years. He has performed solo and in a variety of duos and bands. His album of original songs North of North received significant airplay throughout the midwest and in the west. His song Fill In the Void broke into the top twenty (#16) of the Soundclick folk charts. Brown has appeared as the opening act for groups as divergent as Blood, Sweat, and Tears and Iron Butterfly. Most recently Brown was a finalist in the Highway 61 Folk Festival Songwriting Contest. Brown is a 10th grade Language Arts teacher in White Bear Lake. Chris Herriges joined his first band in Junior High School - "Gateway": kings of the local roller rinks in hometown of Eau Claire, WI. Shelved musical pursuits during college years for conventional career aspirations (BBA - University of WI, Eau Claire, 1986.) but became determined for career as national recording artist before graduation. Relocated to the Twin Cities and, after brief stint in the business world, began a full-time career in music. First self-produced original recordings, through independent promotion, garnered significant Midwest commercial airplay. Played live and recorded extensively throughout the Nineties with various bandmates. The Chris Herriges Project, with bassist Chris Shaw and drummer Chris Weinberger (later joined by guitarist Pete McCauley) saw significant success with a number of Rock Radio singles. "All Real Now" and "Long, Cold Road" (independently promoted) were added on commercial stations in places like Roanoke VA, Chatanooga TN, and Key West FL. (1993/94). "Don't Turn Me Away" written by Herriges' brother, Greg, made #104 on Album Network Magazine's national Rock Radio chart...due, in part, to a starred review (critical merit) in Billboard Magazine. Allied with concert promoter Jack Summers (2nd time, actually) 1998. Played regularly as opening act for Summers' "vintage act" bookings: Leon Russell, Steppenwolf, Badfinger, Grand Funk Rairoad, others.Current concentration divided between new recordings and busy performance schedule. Solo-Acoustic regularly/weekly, primarily at various Twin Cities (Axel's) Bonfire Restaurant/Bar locations, as well as many private bookings (Company Parties, Weddings.) - lots of Beatles, other classic Rock, Pop, Jazz, often with stellar duo-mate, Michael Loonan. |
