Brian Brown is an instrumental guitarist from right here in Tampa. Using a style uniquely his own, he creates percussive, rhythm- and harmony-driven grooves and heady, heartfelt atmospheres that are easy to get lost in. Brian’s philosophy of music is that he doesn’t play the guitar, he and his guitar are simply conduits for the music to freely express itself.

Brian is deeply committed to animal rights advocacy. He is the executive director of Florida Animal Rights Assembly, a rights-based animal activist collective operating out of west Florida. He is also on the advisory board of Florida Voices for Animals, and has worked with many other animal advocacy organizations in capacities ranging from major event planning, public policy campaigns, community organizing, academic research, semi-undercover investigation, fundraising, and disaster relief. He is proud as both a musician and an activist to bring his music to Tampa Bay Veg Fest.
