Angel Brown invites you to step into
the world of truly romantic music. Every performance
highlights selections that range from sweet to sultry, and
the unbroken thread winding throughout is the theme of love.
Lyrics as pristine as those in "Stardust" to the earthy
"Natural Woman" promise to make the listener consider
his/her own amorous adventures. Her music is for those who
are in love, who want to be in love, or those who have lost
love. In essence, she appeals to most of us. Her music is a combination of vintage
standards spanning the decades from the 1930s to today,
mixing a generous sampling of soft jazz and soulful blues.
Angel recently added some Eydie Gorme, Nora Jones, Sarah
McLachlan, Bruno Mars, John Legend, and Little Big Town
tunes to her repertoire. Frequently, she includes a tribute
to Patsy Cline by performing such hits as "Crazy" and
"Walkin' After Midnight" in her shows. Angel's voice sounds warm and tender
on her favorite ballads, and in the next breath grinds out a
sizzling blues number like Nora Jones' "Turn Me On."
She doesn't really segregate tunes into specific genres.
Instead, she gives each song loving attention, sings from
the heart, and makes them her own. Angel often works as a solo
pianist/vocalist. She also offers a band that can be sized
to the needs of the club or private party: a trio, quartet,
etc. Each show is slightly different from the last as Angel
tailors her performance to the needs of the
audience. Area venues at which Angel has
performed: August Restaurant, The Bistro at Two Olives
and a Pepper Restaurant, Capitol Steak House, Illini Country
Club, The Inn at 835 S. 2nd Street, Lime Street Café,
Charlie R's Steak House, The Loft, Mugsy's Restaurant (in
Jacksonville), Panther Creek Country Club, Norb Andy's
Tabarin, Pub Donegal (in Litchfield) Boones and Sangamo
Club. She has also performed at various private parties
including such locations as: the Hilton, Prairie Heart
Institute (grand opening), the Dana Thomas House "Jazz in
Bloom" annual fundraiser and others.
Angel is a bandleader, musician and vocalist who is gaining
steady momentum in the Springfield, Illinois area and
beyond. She says she cannot remember a time in her life when
she did not want to sing. Angel followed in the musical
footsteps of two uncles, several cousins, and her brother,
all of whom play or have played semi-professionally in
various local bands.
