It took me a long time to find Greg. I first heard him on a single track on a late night radio programme here in Melbourne Australia in about 1992. We have a...
Not sure if I responded to your earlier email regarding the Pearl Jam song. You ought to send the suggestion to Greg, over at his web site. He might enjoy...
I'm pretty sure I first heard Greg (Good morning coffee) on the morning folk show on WERS in Boston in the mid-80s. But I didn't get hooked until '88 when I...

Good idea, but I'd rather request it in person at a show (LOL). Since I may not be able to get to Dallas or Houston, I will try his website. Plus I am...
One of the better things about living in Montana in the 70s & 80s was Gus Chambers on Montana Public Radio. Gus was great about playing the 'commercially...
I first saw Greg with Ani Difranco at Carnegie Hall in NYC probably in the late 90's, I must have missed his opening set, but he came on at the end of the show...

Let's see ... it must have been the winter of 1984, when I was listening to the WERS morning coffeehouse, pregnant with my second child, and watching my...
With great sadness I am reporting to this list that the great Tom Tucker has passed away. He goes all the way back with Greg and Bo. I can't even begin to...

I can remember it clearly. It was the spring of 1984 and I was at a conference in Iowa City. Some of my colleagues and I decided to go out for pizza and beer...
... I'm a bit different in how I came into Greg's music. Even back in the 80's, I was already following a few hundred songwriters. It took quite a bit to get...
I had the good fortune of going to college at the University of Iowa as a freshman in 1977. For a couple years before the album 44&66 came out I regularly...
I first heard of Greg in 1977ish from two sources: Michael Johnson covered "Pilot Me" and "Rooty Toot Toot for the Moon" on his first album, and a local...
It is so wonderful to hear the stories! There are a lot of you out there and even though we rarely "hear" you online, it is comforting knowing all of you are...
Though I rarely post on here, I do follow it faithfully. I first heard Greg with my friend, Heidi, in the early 80's at the Coffeehouse Extempore, a little...
It has been fun following this thread. Seems like a lot of us have been following Greg since the 80's. Prairie Home Companion was a boon for him, giving...
Thanks Rose & Dennis. I especially enjoy hearing from folks that rarely, if ever, post. It’s cool the hear everybody’s stories, and how they came upon...
So, I think the first time I heard Greg Brown was in 1994 when four of his discs were in rotation at the coffee shop/restaurant I was working in. They got...

OK, I'm a rare poster. In 1992 I bought "Legacy II: A Collection of Singer/Songwriters" and I was struck by Greg's "Who Woulda Thunk It". I immediately...
I live in Australia and have to go to Vermont for a conference late this month. When I arranged this a couple of months ago I checked Greg's tour schedule and...
