Chris Brown is a Canadian songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He was one of the primary singers and songwriters for the Canadian alternative rock band Bourbon Tabernacle Choir in the 1980s and 1990s. When that band broke up, Brown continued performing as a duo with his Bourbon bandmate Kate Fenner. He has accompanied dozens of notable musicians on stage, such as in 1998 when Brown spent six months filling in for Kevin Hearn as a member of Barenaked Ladies while Hearn battled leukemia.
Brown released a solo album, Burden of Belief in 2003. He performs this material both solo and with Tony Scherr, Anton Fier, and Teddy Kumpel as Chris Brown and the Citizen Band.
