Tom Browne

Multi-gold album artist and Billboard “Best Of” awards recipient Tom “Jamaica Funk” Browne has an unstoppable passion for new music, one that has kept him on tour and in the recording studio of late. With over four decades of recordings and sharing the concert stage with luminary figures of music, Tom continues to captivate listeners with a mix of stage presence, musical artistry, and a sincere audience connection. “People don’t just come to hear your music,” says Browne, “they come to connect with you!” Tom is perhaps best known for what music icon George Benson said of his “believability in any musical style; his ability to communicate!” Tom has worked with the industry’s best and brightest, having shared the concert stage with Bob James, Dave Grusin, Najee, Roy Ayers, Joe Sample, Melba Moore and a host of others. He was introduced (by Earl Klugh) to Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen, and subsequently signed his first recording contract with GRP Records. It was there that Browne produced some of the labels best hits including Funkin’ For Jamaica and Thighs High. To date, Tom has over 20 solo projects on the market. He can also be found on tour regularly. After selling out late summer concerts in The UK (Pizza Express and CLF Arts Cafe) and The Netherlands (North Sea Jazz Club), he went on to headline The Capital Jazz Cruise, Oxnard and Hub City Jazz Festivals, all receiving glowing reviews. It would seem indeed … that Tom Browne’s passion for great new music … is unstoppable!
