About
It’s truly a family affair when the Browns hit the stage with their gospel music. The five-voice musical styling of Shelly, Jessica (21), Michaela (19), Adam (17) and Andrew (11) exude excitement on the stage and offer a life-changing experience to all who hear them. The Browns deliver the powerful message of the gospel through word and song that engage audiences of all ages.
The Browns have been touring across the United States since the group began its full-time ministry six years ago. The heralded group began on the local and state level and has expanded and grown into a national touring group.
For the second year in a row the Browns received the prestigious honor of a Horizon top-five group of the year nomination. The awards are given to the best up and coming groups. The Browns will be attending the Singing News Magazine fan awards at the National Quartet Convention in Louisville, KY. “It started out with the Singing News magazine fans voting for the top ten,” Michaela said. “We had no idea we were up for this ward until we got an e-mail to tell us. We were up with some wonderful groups. This honor is very rewarding coming from the fans and knowing that we’ve touched their hearts or ministered to them in some way.”
The Browns have released seven recordings, including their newest single “My Name is Already There.” The group has just returned from finalizing the music tracks for a new CD due for release the first of the year. They are produced by the award winning talent of Roger Talley at Crossroads and Summitt studios. Their booking is affiliated with Michael Davis of the Dominion Agency based out of Wade, N.C.
Even when they’re not on stage or on tour, the Browns manage to stay plenty busy on their farm property west of LeMars, Iowa, which has served to become somewhat of haven for the family away from the road. “We have to work a lot, cleaning and washing our bus,” Adam said. “We enjoy life at home. There’s just something about being in the country. I’ve always enjoyed it.” Andrew, the self-proclaimed life of the party, said touring on the road can get a little crazy, but he’s been able to put things into perspective. “I’m thankful for what I’m doing,” he said. “I think it’s a special thing that we do.” To add to the family experience, Shelly’s husband Keith is the chief bus driver and sound technician. “It’s definitely something that would be hard to do if you weren’t called to it,” Shelly said. “Because we know we’re called, it’s been worth it all. God has opened the doors and there are adventures and blessings behind each one.”
From singing over 30 shows at the Americana Theatre in Branson, MO to being voted top 5 Horizon Group Of The Year this award winning family will inspire you with their close-knit family harmony. The Browns love what they do, love each other, and the audiences to whom they sing. And as long of the Lord continues to open doors of opportunity, the Browns are committed to follow his leading. |
