THE SEVERLY BROTHERS
MARTY AXELROD & SEVERIN BROWNE
All ages, 6-9pm, $10
Marty and Severin are members of the Los Angeles-based, six-man songwriter collective Tall Men Group. They are known to be among the finest singer-songwriters on the LA scene. When
Severin and Marty sing together as a duo, playing guitar and keyboards, they’re known as The Severly Brothers.
Severin Browne is a sought-after guest in many singer-songwriter festivals and shows, and is regarded as one of the most delightful performers in the Los Angeles area. His brilliant lyrics invite listeners into the songs while his solid melodies carry the story from one note to the next.
Berry Gordy offered Severin a staff songwriting deal just as Motown was moving to Hollywood. Six months later, Severin signed with Motown Records as an artist and made two LPs. Severin’s Moo Records title "From the Edge of the World” included songs used in the indie film "Plan B"
starring Jon Cryer, and in the Japanese classic “My Friend Totoro”. Severin’s next CDs, “This Twisted Road” and “Lucky Man”, were produced by Ed Tree. Severin teaches guitar and
songwriting at his home in Los Angeles and performs with The Tall Men Group. For more information see http://www.severinbrowne.com.
Marty Axelrod is the keyboardist member Tall Men Group, for whom he has written such fan favorites as “I Made Fire”, “9 Cats” and “The South”. Marty’s songs have been recorded by the likes of Judy Collins, folk legend Theodore Bikel, blues powerhouse Linda Hopkins, the country band Emerson Drive, and indie powerhouse Kelly Fitzgerald.
Marty’s songs have adorned the soundtracks of HBO’s “True Blood”, “Friday Night Lights”, and a truly terrible Patrick Swayze movie…but Mr. Swayze did dance to his song! Marty is proud to
have produced and co-written, with Nicole Gordon, the critically-acclaimed concept album “Songs of Shiloh”. He also wrote the songs for “Emperor Norton the Musical”, which had four
successful runs in San Francisco and Los Angeles. As a keyboardist, Marty has recently lent his stylings to records by Leslie Beauvais, Jaynee Thorne, Laura Zucker and Britta Lee Shain, and to live performances by Allan Rich, Theater
Sports, Aireene Espiritu, Brian Woodbury and many more. As a man, his proudest
accomplishments are a 35-year marriage and two amazing kids. Please search YouTube Marty
