Butcher Brown is a multifaceted and dynamic collective hailing from Richmond, Virginia, a group famous for blending the boundaries of jazz, funk, hip-hop, and soul to create a modern sound that honors the spirit of the past while looking forward to the future. Composed of multi-instrumentalist Devonne Harris (aka DJ Harrison) on the keys, Keith Askey on guitar, Andrew Randazzo on bass, Corey Fonville on drums, and Marcus Tenney on horns and rap vocals, the band has carved out a distinct niche in the contemporary music landscape. With roots embedded in the rich musical soil of their home city, the group's emergence speaks to not only their technical prowess but also their collective approach to music-making—a dialogue of diverse influences that finds harmony in its eclectic and unerring groove.

Stepping into the popular music forefront with a series of releases that showcase their fluidity and tight-knit musicianship, Butcher Brown has captured the ears of both old-school music aficionados and those seeking a fresh spin on classic genres. Their recent releases such as "Solar Music" offer an electric blend of cosmic vibrations that aligns seamlessly with tracks like "MOVE (RIDE) [Feat. Jay Prince]", underscoring the band's versatility and openness to collaborate with artists across the spectrum. The group's compositions, like "I Can Say To You [Feat. Vanisha Gould]", unveil a deep commitment to melodic storytelling, while the 'Butcher Brown Presents Triple Trey' project, including both its deluxe and instrumental editions, further underscores their inclination for ambitious, multi-layered projects. From the soul-infused hip-hop rhythms of "777" to the immersive soundscapes of "This Side of Sunshine", Butcher Brown continues to defy genre constraints and affirm their role as torchbearers of an ever-evolving musical tradition.
