"'Shade' is the perfect summertime song; escape the daily grind and reality of life and just slip off for a few days for some fun in the sun!,” Brown adds, "Making this video was a lot of fun! I first began writing the storyline based on the lyrics of the song and then other things came to mind - locations, typical directing-type stuff, and the videographer. Randy was awesome in helping me to capture the images that I had in my head and had written down. The actor and actress were so cooperative and the cool thing we endured was that once we arrived, we had about four hours to do every shot because rain was coming. Fifteen minutes after the last shot was taken, it poured down so Lady Luck was on our side in the shade!"

The catchy, feel-good tune with its infectious groove was released on July 14th. "Shade" was written by Eric Durrance, James Parsons, Brad Deese, and Rod Jones. It was produced by Darren Smith, Pat Holt, and Brown and was mastered by Benny Quinn, BQ mastering. Brown reflects, “The song was somewhat of a challenge for me because it is a different style of music than I am accustomed to performing. It all fell into place with the amazing talent of my co-producers and the musicians that played on the session...right down to the background vocals.” 

"...In the shade 
Girl you know we’ve got it made
You and me in the breeze on the beach nothin’ between us but shade  
Get lost in those waves rollin’ in in the wind on your skin 
I can taste that summer 
Gonna let the rum on my lips spend all day in your kiss  
Caught up in a deep blue haze in the shade..." 

Brown is already in the studio working on new music to be released later this year. To learn moreabout Jim Brown, his music, and tour dates, visit his Website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube or email jimbrowninfo@gmail.com.

ABOUT JIM BROWN: 

Raised in Nashville, and owning his first guitar by the tender age of three, Jim Brown first cut his musical teeth at age nineteen at the iconic Nashville Palace. He grew up part of the Music City community and listened to good ole Rock n’ Roll including Led Zeppelin, ZZ Top, Billy Joel, Kiss, Foreigner, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Beatles, James Taylor, Ted Nugent, and Peter Frampton along with the traditional country sounds of Johnny Cash, Keith Whitley, and Waylon Jennings. These early influences combined with the contemporary music of Blake Shelton and Montgomery Gentry have molded the man and the music that you see and hear today.

In recent years, Brown has released numerous self-produced projects garnering the attention of music professionals and fans alike. His music is available through all digital and streaming plaforms as well as on his website. Brown made his debut on the stage of the world-famous Grand Ole Opry House with his single “Honky-Tonk Women” in 2018 at a special tribute for Ralph Stanley and has shared the stage with a host of country music's top-named entertainers including Aaron Tippin, Andy Griggs, Billy Dean, Collin Raye, Darryl Worley, Daryle Singletary, Heidi Newfield, Jamie O’Neal, Joe Diffie, John Conlee, John Schneider, (“Bo Duke” of The Dukes of Hazzard), Justin Moore, Montgomery Gentry, Sammy Kershaw, and Tanya Tucker.

Brown and his band play all over the US - everything from concerts to corporate events, festivals, and fundraisers. The most important thing to him above and beyond his music, however, is family and making a difference in the lives of others. He uses the power of his music to accomplish that and to satisfy both passions. Brown's life was forever changed while working in Memphis when he had the opportunity to read story books to the children at St. Jude Children’s Hospital. In his own words, “To see what these kids go through and that they can still keep a smile on their face is truly inspiring.” This is why at Jim’s shows you will always see him giving back to a charity or someone in need.
