Hailed as a “rising star” by NPR’s Weekend Edition and “impossibly talented” by Fretboard Journal, Brown made her recorded return last summer with her third full-length album, Long Time To Be Gone (Jalopy Records). Recorded at the historic St. Ann’s Church in Brooklyn Heights, the soulful, mesmerizing collection of traditional tunes and Appalachian instrumentals follows her performance on NPR’s prestigious Tiny Desk Concert series, where she was lauded for bringing “incredible, surprising depth to the Appalachian music she plays.”
