4th Friday

The Marlborough Arts Center is excited to welcome folk singer John John Brown for the 4th Friday @ the Arts Café series on Friday, March 27th, 2026, at 7:30 pm.

A Kerrville New Folk winner, Brown blends storytelling songs with visual art for a performance that feels part concert, part comic book brought to life. No Depression Roots Music and Cultural Journalism calls John John Brown’s debut album The Road “a blend of astute Americana accompanied by a quiet, reflective glow”. 

Americana UK said his newest release is “so well written that every song could be a short story”. Post to Wire noted that “John Prine is a clear influence in the way Brown rolls astute observations and a humorous slant into his lyrics”.

In recent years, John John has been chosen as a Kerrville New Folk winner and an Emerging Artist at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. Most notably, in concert, he is known for mixing storytelling songs with the visual arts creating “an imaginative musical performance woven into a unique visual experience.”
