What one of my customers had to say:
“I first heard about you when you did the art for the Bradenton Blues festival a couple years ago – I’ve bought a handful of posters so far and a few shirts – your quality is really great. Thank you for being true to the blues!” – Donnie T. – Arkansas
Gatemouth Brown: Genre-Defying Blues Virtuoso
Born Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown on April 18, 1924, in Orange, Texas, he was a groundbreaking musician whose career spanned blues, jazz, country, and R&B. Known for his fiery guitar playing, masterful violin, and rich, expressive vocals, Brown earned his nickname for his powerful voice and charismatic stage presence.
Brown began performing in Texas dance halls and radio shows in the 1940s, developing a style that defied categorization. Hits like Okie Dokie Stomp and The Sky Is Crying highlight his versatility, blending swing, jump blues, and traditional Texas blues with improvisational flair. His ability to play multiple instruments—including guitar, fiddle, harmonica, and mandolin—set him apart as a true musical polymath.
A dynamic live performer, Gatemouth Brown toured internationally, influencing generations of blues, jazz, and rock musicians. He won a Grammy Award in 1983 and remained active until his death on September 10, 2005.
Gatemouth Brown’s legacy lies in his fearless blending of genres, technical brilliance, and infectious energy, making him one of the most innovative and celebrated figures in American music.
Grego’s notes: “I got to meet Gatemouth at this show – I got there super early so I could get a good spot near the stage, and low and behold Gatemouth was sitting at the bar by himself, pipe in hand and just passing time before the gig in a couple hours… I got to chat with him for about 20 minutes and he was super nice to me, talked about his career and the fiddle – small talk. Later I found out that sometimes he was not in the stellar mood that I experienced that night, so I am thankful. I am sure life on the road and having a band to pay, etc is pretty stressful – so its understandable that he wouldn’t always be welcoming of an unsolicited conversation in his down time. Its a super cool memory”
