Singer-songwriter/producer Mike Brown has been keeping a subtle, yet steady profile over the last few years in the greater Rochester area. In 2014, his music project, Geneseo, was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Recording Package. He was featured on an episode of the History Channel's hit show American Pickers. His debut record, American Hotel, was self-recorded in all 50 states and features 75 guest musicians spanning the last 60 years of recorded music.

As a producer, he has worked with such artists as Augustines, Eels and members of the bands The National, Sparklehorse, and Band of Horses to name a few. His Americana-themed music evokes country, bluegrass and folk influences that have drawn comparisons to Iron and Wine, Wilco and Calexico. We filmed Mike performing some of these tracks and more at his studio Temperamental Recordings, demonstrating that Mike Brown is one of those rare hidden talents amongst the diverse music community of Rochester.
