Gaston Records celebrated recording artist Allen Brown is one of today’s most inspiring guitarists. His songs are rich with smooth soulful melodic melodies full of heart and passion. Through the creative combination of acoustic and electric guitars, he shares his stories with economy and paints an image through unspoken instrumental music.

Allen was born and raised in San Francisco, California when the musical culture was rich and alive. He aspired to play guitar in the tradition of Jimmi Hendrix, Carlos Santana, Neal Schon, Eric Clapton, George Benson & Windham Hill. He spent years studying with legendary guitar players such as Joe Satriani & Marc Bonilla. Today he is a versatile musician with many recording and production experiences.

His music experience began in the 80's, where at age fifteen he and his band "Split Rail" recorded their first demo in the home studio of Bay Area Red Rocker, Sammy Hagar. The demo was produced by Sammy's drummer, Dave Lauser. The demo was then mixed by none other than Tom Sholtz of the lengendary rock band "Boston".

By the mid 90's Allen's instrumental song "Rush Hour" (produced by Troy Luccketta) was aired daily on local radio station KSJO. "Rush Hour" received national acclaim in Recording Magazine which centered a feature article.

Today Allen is working on his new solo instrumental record soon to be released on GMG Records, as well as playing lead guitar in several other projects. He currently runs a production company for artist development called "Burning Bush Productions" and he is the founder of "The Bay Area Musician" an online resource for musicians to find players, advertise, and search for professional services. Allen is currently endorsed by Taylor Guitars, Dean Markley Strings, Paul Reed Smith, and The Rock Slide.
