Young Goodman Brown and
the Workingman’s Union,
Matt Butcher
Little Kings Shuffle Club
Goodman Brown's roots weave
through a not-sc-distant Southern
landscape that nourished itself on
a steady diet of gambling, rambling
and the Piedmont blues. "You know,
I was fresh out of college; I was Goodman Brown
playing poker a lot, professionally or
semi-professionally, however you want to call it I just learned to play guitar when I was
18, so it took about three years before I felt comfortable enough to playln front of a
crowd," Brown says.
He began touring the "Triple-A Triangle," as he calls it (Athens, Atlanta and Augusta),
in the winter of 2008 and has been compared to the likes of the Carolina Chocolate Drops
and Mississippi John Hurt. When he's playing solo these associations are valid, but when
he's with the Workfeg'n-c ? Union his sound transcends his folksy beginnings with what
Brown calls a more "country soul" feel.
Brown is celebrating the release of his debut EP, Songs from the Great Small World, at
the show on Friday. "It's five songs, with me on the guitar and my buddy, Josh Thane.
So, it's just me, a little banjo, some mandolin and some slide guitar here and there,
pretty stripped down for the most part," Brown says. He also hopes this release will serve
as a launching pad for his publishing company, Workingman's Music Publishing. Songs
from the Great Small World is the first half of a two-part CD, featuring live songs with
Workingman's Union. A music video featuring footage from this show is also in the works.
Keep an eye on wistful Matt Butcher and his live band, The Revolvers, as they team
up with Brown for their upcoming Florida tour. [Patrick McGinn]
