The most recent addition to the Clinch Mtn. Boys, Dewey Brown, joined the band in June of 2005. Dewey, who hails from Graham, North Carolina, is an accomplished fiddle player who, while still in high school started his career playing with the band Blue Ridge. Since high school, Dewey has played with artist such as Honi Denton, Charlie Waller & the Country Gentlemen and on occasion, IIIrd Time Out. The 24 year old Brown started playing the fiddle at age 9 while watching his father play the bass with friends. A friend named Scott Greason, showed Dewey the first basics on the fiddle and after a while of informal lessons with Scott, Dewey was introduced to well known fiddler J.B. Prince. He studied with J.B. over a span of eleven years. In 1999 at the age of 17, Dewey won first place at the Old Time Fiddler’s Convention in Galax, VA. In addition to his phenomenal fiddle playing, Dewey sings harmony at various times during his performance with Ralph Stanley & The Clinch Mtn. Boys. Dewey has a new fiddle album out on his own DewBug label titles "Traditional Fiddle" which features Dewey along with Ralph and The Clinch Mountain Boys. Ralph sings "Cotton Eyed Joe" on the project. Currently, Dewey lives in North Carolina where he collects vintage violins, Martin Guitars and Gibson Banjos. Check out his website at DeweyBrown.com! | |||||||
