Burgandy Brown, Denver-Based Singer-Songwriter, Rolls 'My Lucky 13' with a Genre-Busting Mix of Acoustic and Electric Country, Pop, Rock and Alternative Tracks.

LOS ANGELES -- The striking cover of Burgandy Brown's (www.myspace.com/Burgandybrown) debut CD My Lucky 13 shows her in fully defiant, cowgirl mode against a backdrop of Stars & Stripes, like a female equivalent of country rocker Toby Keith. But ask anyone who's seen the singer-songwriter and her band play on their home turf in the Denver area-this is just one side of her eclectic musical personality.

Brown grew up on her grandparents' Colorado farm listening to their Elvis, Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton and Hank Williams, Jr. albums as well as her mom's Aerosmith, Motley Crue and Def Leppard discs. Completely defying conventional musical industry wisdom that says an artist must choose only one genre, she combines elements from all these influences into a dynamic 13-track recording that's got it all.

Brown captures the trailblazing spirit of many of today's indie artists and creates her own new wave of music. Since the radio campaign for My Lucky 13 began in August, an incredible, unprecedented total of five singles have been getting significant airplay in different parts of the U.S. and as far away as the Virgin Islands in a multitude of formats--Hot AC, AC, Rock, Top 40 and Country.

Folks on the East Coast are hearing the beautiful ballad "Out Here" and the feisty post-breakup song "Set It Off," while Midwesterners are enjoying the optimistic toe-tapper "Basics" and "Lady Like," a jamming ode to Brown's lifelong pride over being a tomboy at heart. West Coast listeners are enjoying the summery nostalgia of "Slip N Slide." Brown also has a major support system in Denver's local country station 92.5 The Wolf, which earlier this year asked her to be the evening's entertainment at a party welcoming their new morning DJs.

Brown, who recorded her first EP Eastern Plains right out of high school in 2004, says she's also a fan of rap music and recently wrote some rap and hip-hop tunes that may make the cut on a future recording. "The whole thing is that I don't limit myself as a songwriter," she says. "My passion for many different kinds of music plays a vital role because I'll often force myself to write outside my usual comfort zone."
