Friends of the Fullertons:
Catfish BrownBuddy Moore and Charlie "Yazoo Chaz" Bernstein are Catfish Brown, rocking acoustically on a trot line of Americana and blues, trophy-worthy classics, and a whiskey riverful of originals.
The band's name testifies to the duo's belief that truly great folk artists are, at heart, catfish: feeders thriving on the rich remains of everything that winnows its way down to our culture's deepest realms. Not coincidentally, the name also honors washboard hotshot Cleatus "Catfish" Brown, a prolific Mississippi jug band leader, born and bred by the banks of the Yazoo River at Shadrach Junction, a bend where no whistle ever stopped, . Brown never traveled far from his birthplace, but his early-and mid-century influence was profound. Brown was a close partner-in-crime of barroom bard "Neon" Leon Fullerton, who dubbed Brown "the music world's most legendary mythical nobody."
