Maggie Brown
Maggie BrownA Chicago native, Maggie made her professional acting and singing debut there at the Body Politic Theater. She studied music, theater and voice at Columbia College and has since taken her polished vocal style on the road.

Since 1991, Miss Brown began touring Chicago-area schools and nationally on the college circuit, performing her one-woman show: LEGACY: Our Wealth Of Music. "LEGACY" is a musical demonstration/lecture about the history and evolution of African American music. In 1997, Maggie helped the Chicago House Of Blues, with her knowledge of music history and edutainment expertise, to develop their Blues Schoolhouse student outreach program. Maggie is captivating in her presentation and she effortlessly delivers a powerful performance whether singing spirituals, jazz, contemporary hip hop or even rapping.

While simultaneously marketing and performing her "LEGACY" show, Maggie also tours in concert promoting her self-produced, debut, solo recording : "From My Window," released on compact disc and cassette on Browns’ independent label: Mag Pie Records. In 1996, the album was nominated by the Chicago Music Awards for Best Jazz CD. Maggie was then nominated the following year for Best Jazz Performer (1997).

A recent appearance at the Schomberg Library Center in concert with her legendary father, Oscar Brown, Jr., afforded Maggie exposure to a New York City audience which included the highly acclaimed singer/songwriter: Abbey Lincoln. After witnessing what Ms. Lincoln described as "a great performer," she then invited Maggie to perform two duets on her latest CD: Wholly Earth which was released January 1999 on the Verve label. The Chicago Tribune declares Maggie is: "sublime" on her duets in which she "maintains her musical identity. . . pointing to her depth as an interpretive artist." Maggie will be appearing as Ms. Lincoln’s special guest at The Blue Note in New York this April, 1999.
