ABOUTCALVINCalvin Brown is an accomplished jazz pianist and singer-songwriter. A native of Richmond, Virginia, Calvin began playing the piano in church at the age of 13. Music has let him see more of the world than he ever could have dreamed. But with his solo project, Calvin Presents, the biggest journey has been an inward one.Calvin’s original music, performed by his dynamic seven-piece band, deftly synthesizes the best of his roots in jazz and gospel music with neo-soul, hip-hop, alt rock— and even trap music—forging a relentlessly adventurous and soulful live experience. “Music is a place for me to be free,” says Calvin, “a place where I don’t have to have all the answers. I just try to be as honest as I can.”Calvin’s original music, performed by his dynamic seven-piece band, deftly synthesizes the best of his roots in jazz and gospel music with neo-soul, hip-hop, alt rock— and even trap music—forging a relentlessly adventurous and soulful live experience. “Music is a place for me to be free,” says Calvin, “a place where I don’t have to have all the answers.
