With his signature double-neck “guit-steel” guitar and a style that fuses country, honky-tonk, blues, and surf rock, Junior Brown stands as one of the most original voices in American music. A native of Cottonwood, Arizona, Brown cut his teeth in honky-tonks before developing his trademark sound — a blend of sharp-edged guitar virtuosity and a baritone voice tailor-made for classic country storytelling.

Over the course of his career, Junior has released critically acclaimed albums, scored hits like Highway Patrol and My Wife Thinks You’re Dead, and built a reputation as one of the most electrifying live performers in roots music. His invention of the guit-steel — a hybrid of electric guitar and lap steel — has become his calling card, setting him apart as a true innovator.
