He discovered a new world when, at twelve, his family moved to Houston. It was there, as he grew to adulthood, that he began to connect with and make music in a deeper sense. Having grown up in both Louisiana and Texas, Randy Lewis Brown’s tales are those of hard resignation with the occasional dappled sunlight of wounded optimism shining through. You might say Randy Lewis Brown’s songs are as windswept as his heart. Having been tapped to open for Ray Wylie Hubbard, David Olney, Jim Lauderdale and more, Randy Lewis Brown has played across the country -- extensively through Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana -- including to multiple festivals like Tommy Alverson’s Family Gathering and the South Florida Folk Festival.
During his formative years in Texas, he was offered a $10 guitar and lessons for $1 a week by an older teen in the church, and he was instantly and irrevocably hooked. By 14, he was a budding songwriter and went on to form bands all throughout his teen years, dedicating himself in earnest to songwriting, even delivering lyrics in high school English class. A few years later, moving to East Texas with his bride to start a family where most of the counties were dry and the bars to host gigs were few and far between, Randy Lewis Brown began hightailing it across Texas on the weekends to as many welcoming stages as he could find. After forming a duo with John DeFoore, and then adding cellist Dirje Childs to form the trio Jealousy Motel, he eventually shifted focus to solo projects, although Dirje Childs reappears on his newest album.
Randy Lewis Brown sets his lyrical poetry to Americana music. His most recent full album project is “Wind of Change”, released in 2022 on Berkalin Records. Says Randy about his latest, "If I have learned anything in my short time on earth, it is that change is all there is. Nothing ever remains the same for long. Each song presented here, in its own way is about change; birth, aging, death, disappointment, beginnings, endings and every other little thing that reminds us we are not in control."
Brown has been a repeat winner of songwriting awards over more than two decades: including: Winner: The New Traditions Award (2007); Winner: TIME Songwriting Competition (2009); Winner: Poor David’s BW Stevenson Songwriter Contest (2014); Winner: FTR Willows by Water (2017); Winner: South Florida Folk Festival (2018); Winner: Woody Guthrie Songwriting Contest (2021); Finalist: Kerrville New Folk (2021); Finalist: Great RIver Folk Fest Finalist (2021); Finalist: Texas Troubadour Songwriter Classic & Peoples Choice Winner (2024); and Finalist: Rocky Mountain Folks Fest Songwriter Showcase (2025).
