Kelley's Heroes

You might hear echoes of many legendary music heroes in their songs: from Elvis Costello to The Beatles to Richard Thompson to Steve Earle. Hailing from Rochester, NY, Kelley's Heroes is driven by the songwriting collaboration of John R. Kelley and Jon Gary. Kelley's guitar and vocals are fueled by his enduring passion for music, complemented by Gary's contributions as a co-writer, bassist, and singer. The band's powerful sound is further shaped by Dan Hoh on guitar and James Conner on drums. Kelley's Heroes has just released their sophomore album, "In The 21st Century". The band has also performed and debuted original music on live radio, including WRUR's Open Tunings show.

Brown is also the founder of Temperamental Recordings, a recording studio and label based out of a former Methodist church built in 1828.  In 2011 the impressive space and collection was featured on The History Channel show American Pickers, with Brown appearing as an expert and appraiser of musical instruments and vintage recording equipment. 

In 2014 Brown released a CD with a childhood friend Zac DeCamp titled Automatic Music Can Be Fun and, with the help of Brian Grunert from White Bicycle Design Firm, was nominated for a GRAMMY in the Best Recording Package category against Jay-Z, David Bowie, Metallica, and Reckless Kelly.
