A.B! and COCONUT BROWN

About Me

Hailing form Grand Rapids, MI, A.B! & Coconut Brown was conceived in the summer of 2005 and is the brainchild of front man, Adrian Butler. After a few sparse gigs between '05 and '07, the current lineup was finalized in late December of '07. During the spring of 2008, AB added trombonist, Josh Usadel to further thicken the horn section.The sound of A.B! and Coconut Brown is an organic blend of bass, drums, electric guitar, keys and horns synthesized with a MPC 2000. This mixture of hip-hop beats, infused with elements of jazz, pop, rock, reggae and old-school funk is truly unique. Chief lyricist and MC, Butler, raps about topics ranging from space travel, politics, social issues, personal experience and female situations. His rhymes are touched with smart humor and satirical overtones.ABC Brown has been gigging virtually non-stop on the West Michigan club circuit throughout 2008. They have played all the major local venues and festivals. The band even played 3 shows in one day in the fall of 2008! A.B! & Coconut Brown is currently working hard to break out into major markets such as Detroit, Chicago and beyond in 2009.To download and view press kit, click on link here: PRESS KIT for booking contact: [email protected] Banner Made with MyBannerMaker.com!
