	Greg Brown is on practically everyone's short list as an example of a contemporary folk artist, embodying the genre as much for our generation as did legendary voices from previous generations. His songs and his comfortable, spontaneous stage presence have earned him the status as practically "always welcome to the table" at Prairie Home Companion, at folk festivals across the country and on other diverse circuits around the world. "A wickedly sharp observer of the human condition." - Rolling Stone. Greg started performing at the Towne Crier Cafe before either was a legend, and it's a treat to have him back to our intimate setting. SARAH LEE GUTHRIE & JOHNNY IRION: The musical richness and psychological depth of this collaboration is irrefutable proof that the disarming granddaughter of Woody/daughter of Arlo, and the prodigious South Carolinian quite naturally bring out the best in each other.
