Songs, Stories and Art Lessons from Strangers Kerrville New Folk winner John John Brown is bringing giant comics, iconic photographs, and moving panoramas to the stage. Titled Songs, Stories, & Art, this original project weaves together storytelling songs and the visual arts in a live performance. Intertwined through it all is the common thread that life is filled with Lessons from Strangers. “So well written that every song could be a short story, a treat for lovers of narrative-driven tales.” -Americana UK The protagonists come from all walks of life; from an aging Vietnam Vet, to a trumpet playing orphan, a married couple debating evolution, to a young man with mental illness wandering the aisles of Walmart. “An imaginative musical performance woven into a unique visual experience”- Gallery 25 With his guitar in hand, John John may have found a new way to sing a song. Above all, he stays rooted in the soil of a good story.
