Lance Brown is an artist, actor, musician and songwriter who has lived by his wits and creativity since 1977. During this time he has been a prolific songwriter penning pieces ranging from the patently absurd to the deeply philosophical. On the absurd end he and collaborator Steve Wellman created the satyrical "Somewhat Fractured History of the World Show" which was billed as a history of the world from the Big Bang to the present in silly songs and stupid music. Lance performed that show nationwide for 10 years. Lance's satirical songs have found their way onto the "Dr. Demento Show" out of Los Angeles ("Buzzards in Love" "Soap on a Rope") and many local radio stations WBEZ, WFMT and WNUR ("The Dan Ryan Blues). He also performs around Chicago with his Lance Brown Group playing his own form of bluesy jazz and jazzy blues.As a graphic artist, Lance has shown his improvisational paintings and drawings throughout the city of Chicago. Influenced by twelve years of Zen practice, Lance's creative approach to both music and graphic art find their roots in meditation and improvisation. Pulling the two disciplines of art and music together he has painted live on stage to the Eddy Clearwater Blues Band at Bill's Blues in Evanston, The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir at Shuba's in Chicago and performed a series of improvised paintings to Strauss Waltzes at the Skokie Theatre in Skokie. He brings the same fearless "freeing of the muse" approach to his song writing. A workshop with Lance Brown is not about the nuts and bolts of the business but is more about process, opening the doors to creativity and finding one's own unique artistic voice.
