Tommy Brown
& the County Line Grass

Bluegrass at it's best! The Tommy Brown and County Line Grass band holds true to their beloved traditional, mountain-style bluegrass music. They are well-known for pleasing their audience by bringing that "personal touch" to their performances. You might even see Laura Brown kick-up her heels with some old time clogging. This band has four generations of family talent! Fans travel from far and wide to listen to this group! Tommy Brown is both a Kentucky & Tennessee State Banjo Champion as well as a masterful guitar and mandolin picker. Seventeen-year-old son, Jereme Brown, handles lead guitar and baritone vocals and he too is an accomplished banjo picker and wows audiences with his hard-driving, spirited banjo. Sixteen-year-old daughter, Rachel Brown, handles acoustic bass responsibilities. Continuing the family tradition, Tommy's wife, Laura Brown, provides tenor vocals for the group. Josh "Jug" Rinkel brings a unique dimension to this group with his back-up banjo work, lead and bass vocals. The group's newest member is Fiddlin' Wayne Fyffe.

Tommy Brown and the County Line Grass have appeared on DIRECTV's RFD Cumberland Highlander Show, 2002 IBMA Fan Fest, Jerusalem Ridge Bluegrass Celebration, Silver Dollar City, Bill Monroe's Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival and the Sally Mountain Bluegrass Festival as well as countless festivals and concert venues throughout the country. You don't want to miss this excellent blend of family and music!
