Elements of rock, folk & country sort of mixed-- sometimes twisted. Melodic, with thoughtful, sometimes political, lyrics. Some songs have humor, some darkness; some are bluesy, some sound Caribbean. Every song offers something new. "A rockin' Greg Brown"
Bio / Background
Singer/songwriter Kevin Brixius grew up on a sharecrop farm in southern Minnesota. After completing a B.A. at the U of M, he went off to see the world. Over the next dozen years, he traveled in 26 countries and hitchhiked over 10,000 miles, writing songs all along the way. "Desperate Act of the Powerless" reflects this diverse background, with songs that range from the joyful ringing of 'Evangeline' to the playful roll of 'A Member of the Rabble', to the driving foreboding of 'Easter Island'. There is the mysterious bounce of 'Bicycle Rider', the tension of 'Karen Calls'. Then again, there's 'Favorite Cow', a song which probably needs no explanation, nor warning. Brixius' songs ride musical emotion like a broncobuster. (His favorite composers are Bob Marley, Neil Young, and Ludwig van Beethoven.
