Leonard “Lowdown” Brown’s Birthday Blast at The Big Easy

Leonard “Lowdown” Brown is an electric guitar-slinging blues legend in the Houston music scene. His virtuosic fingerwork and formidable voice seem effortless, evidence of his raw talent and over four decades of dedication to his craft.

By his early twenties, Brown was making his rounds playing in the Chicago music scene in gospel and quartet groups, but had a thirst to try out other styles of music. He took inspiration from the artistry of B.B. King, R.L. Burnside, Chet Atkins and T-Bone Walker’s fingerpicking, tuning into his own sound through imitating theirs.

Brown’s talent has led him to open for acts including Sister Sledge, ZZ Hill, Johnny Taylor and Bobby Bland. For all his accomplishments, he has no intentions of slowing down. “I’ll never get away from it. When I don’t have a gig lined up, I’m working on something in my studio or supporting my friends’ shows and playing with them,” he adds.
