Since the release of his second release, “Cutting Ties” in 2014, Jeff Brown has had quite a bit of time to cultivate what would become his third album. And in the meantime, he fell in love, got married, bought a home, and discovered he would be uprooting his entire life to move from Chicago to the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia.

Despite the upheaval, Brown has managed to settle in and firmly find himself in the Americana/Indie-folk soundscape with his upcoming album “1000 Ways,” inspired by the saying that, 'when you are at your most lost, there are always at least 1,000 ways to come home again'. True to its title, the album is a collection of songs and stories about struggling to find purpose -- to find belonging -- to find home. From the soothing centerpiece "Reykjavik" to the final strains of "Here and Now", the album is a journey in and of itself.
