Mr. Brown was an early adapter of the blues music in Holland. As a close friend to Eelco Gelling (Cuby & the Blizzards), he was introduced to and captured by the blues at a young age, inspiring him to learn the guitar. He developed into a renowned master of the slow blues. With the White Blues Band he successfully toured the European stages in the 70s and 80s. This year (2013) he celebrates his 50th stage anniversary.
As a musician, he has been showing his passion since the summer of the 90's and is a permanent fixture with the Bluesbreakers.
