Biography
“This is a new band with chops to watch.” says The Phoenix. Since forming in the summer of 2008, Gunther Brown has established itself as a band on the rise. The Portland Press Herald says, “Dubuc’s rough and raspy vocals are terrific … “. With an EP (Eustis Ridge) released in April 2009, Gunther Brown is working with two sets of original music that ranges from “downright singer/songwritery” (The Phoenix) to “hand-clapping, countrified rock” (Press Herald).
A four piece band from Portland, Maine, Gunther Brown is working throughout New England and the Northeast with shows Boston, NYC, Vermont, Western Massachusetts and beyond. This summer also saw the band play the main stage at the Yarmouth Clam festival in Yarmouth, Maine … a festival that draws more than 100,000 visitors annually.
Gunther Brown plays music that is solidly Americana and borrows from folk, rock and old time country. The band’s hooks are infectious; poppy enough to get you singing along with enough soul to make it worth another listen.
