A Benefit for The Brownstone
The Brownstone Jazz Club in Uptown Minneapolis is a new jazz venue created by longtime musician Johnnie Brown to expand access and opportunity for local artists. Join us for a special evening with Johnnie at Crooners- encompassing a variety of R&B music and featured performances. Johnnie will take you on a journey through his life, accomplishments and endeavors going forward- lifting up The Brownstone.
Featuring Johnnie Brown & Friends
A mainstay of regional R&B music, Johnnie Brown, born in Mississippi, began singing as a child in the choir of his father’s church. He and his band deliver the music of the “Sound of Philadelphia” like it was meant to be played. Johnnie Brown continues to strive to make a difference in the entertainment community with his tribute performances to honor the legendary performers that inspired his singing career, such as Teddy Pendergrass, Lionel Ritchie, Lou Rawls and the O’Jays.
The Brownstone Jazz Club is on a mission to bring live jazz and vibrant community spirit back to Uptown Minneapolis. After a sharp decline in 2020, the Uptown community is slowly revitalizing, and the Brownstone Jazz Club wants to be a part of this exciting transformation.
