1st Set w/Brown and Heath Xperience

Showtimes:  6pm-7:15pm & 8:15pm-9:30pm

As a guitarist, composer, singer/songwriter, producer, and educator Larry Brown is in a lane all his own. It was in the small town of Venice, IL that he, at 5 years old, began plucking the strings of his father’s guitar. The rest was history as he ventured on to pursue his big-city dreams. In 2009, Brown graduated with his Master’s degree in Jazz Studies from Northern Illinois University. While there he was under the tutelage of Jazz legends such as Russell Malone, Pat Martino, Bucky and John Pizzarelli, John Scofield, and 7-string guitarist, Rick Haydon.

Originating from Chicago, IL, Charles “Rick” Heath IV is a versatile and renowned musician from local to international levels. Playing anything from Jazz and Blues to Gospel and Latin music, his signature sound is prominent in the recording studios, concert settings, live Broadway theater platforms, and as the drummer for late pianist and jazz legend Ramsey Lewis. Some of his proudest accolades include works with Donald Byrd, McCoy Tyner, and Slide Hampton. He also served as the resident drummer with the national tour of Oprah Winfrey and Quincy Jones’ theater production of “The Color Purple.” He is often rotating hats of composer, band leader, recording artist, musical director, producer and teacher and simply inspires and outreaches to his surrounding communities at all times.
