Brad Brown And Friends

About Me

Brad Brown is known for his never ending dedication to the gospel. From being an active Christian musician/entertainer, Associate Pastor to a music Worship leader at his church: Brad Brown continues to be an inspiration and messenger for the Lord. He has been active in the music ministry for several years. Brad has been raised with a passion for the Lord and a growing desire for gospel music. He spent his childhood watching his Grandmother sing and play the piano at every church service, and listened to his father sing and play the guitar. Brad’s grandmother taught him a few basic chords on the piano, never knowing that those chords would forever change his life. Brad’s love and passion for the songs he sings is evident in every lyric. He can hit the high notes with power, and sing the lower notes with fervency. His style of piano playing is unique and different and you will fall in love with his personable stage presence and humor. With the support of a local café, Brad Brown started performing every Friday night, continuing his gospel entertainment to a new audience. This started as a one man show and gradually turned into a very hi-energy ensemble of musicians called “Brad Brown and Friends” “Gospel Music with a Twist!” Is the known saying when asked to describe this eclectic gospel ensemble. With a drive to serve the Lord, good quality entertainment, and a message passed on through song, Brad Brown and Friends continues to inspire listeners nation-wide. Brad Brown and Friends is a very active ensemble based out of Mattoon, Illinois featuring instrumentation from various performers. Instruments include: keyboards, organ, drums, percussion, guitar, and bass guitar. This live ensemble is available for gospel shows, festivals, private events, church services, and more. The current group includes: Brad Brown, Ryan Spitz, Jon Spitz, Jamey Poulter, and Troy South. For booking info visit them online www.bradbrownministries.org or call (217) 549-6326
