Roger Brown Music

About Me

Born in Fort Worth and raised in central Texas, Roger Brown is the son of Texas ranchers. He grew up listening to the music his mother loved – Hank Williams, Bob Wills, Johnny Horton and Johnny Cash, as well as Frank Sinatra, Artie Shaw, and Glenn Miller. In sixth grade, he began writing short stories and poetry, and that talent transitioned into songwriting when he learned to play the guitar at 13. It was shortly thereafter that he began performing at local talent shows and dancehalls. After graduating high school, he immersed himself in the thriving music scene in the area. This led to eventually being discovered by Monument Records’ Tex Davis and Wayland Stubblefield. Roger moved to Nashville in late 1982, and by 1985 had his first major recording, Fool, Fool Heart, by Tanya Tucker. Since then, Roger has been a professional writer with a long list of recordings by artists as diverse as Barbra Streisand, Tammy Wynette, George Strait, and Nanci Griffith. Other artists who have recorded his tunes include Trace Adkin, Kenny Chesney, Patty Loveless, Randy Travis, and many others. He was nominated for a Tony Award in 2002 for his two songs which were featured in the Broadway show “Urban Cowboy – The Musical”, and has had compositions featured on numerous gold & platinum albums, as well as major motion pictures such as “A Fire In The Sky” and “Red Rock West”. In 1996, he was signed as an artist by Decca Records, and released the critically acclaimed mini-CD “Roger Brown & Swing City”. br
