Friends of the Fullertons:

Catfish Brown

Buddy Moore, Yazoo Chaz, and whoever else shows up are Catfish Brown, rocking acoustically on a trot line of Americana and blues, trophy-worthy classics, and a whiskey-river-full of originals.

​The band's name testifies to the duo's belief that  truly great folk artists are, in essence, catfish: bottom feeders thriving on the rich remains of everything that winnows its way down to our culture's deepest realms.

More exactly, the name honors Zydeco washboard hotshot Cleatus "Catfish" Brown. Brown was a prolific Mississippi jug band leader, born and bred by the banks of the Yazoo River. He never traveled far from his birthplace, but his early-and mid-century influence was extensive. Brown was a close partner-in-crime of barroom bard "Neon" Leon Fullerton, who called Brown "the music world's most legendary mythical nobody."

Booking info:

Catfish Brown is available for fundraisers, concerts, recording sessions, bull fights, brises, rent parties, mortgage-burnings, croquet tournaments, fire walks, inner-tube regattas, hair-splitting competitions, exorcisms, sock hops, spitting tournies, belt sander races, Mauna Loa sundowns, barnyard hoe-downs, high-noon showdowns, grass-shack blow-downs, and virtually any very-merry-go-round.
