Multi-gold album artist and Billboard “Best Of” awards recipient Tom “Jamaica Funk” Browne has an unstoppable passion for new music, one that has kept him on tour and in the recording studio for over three decades. Is it timelessness that keeps the music flowing? Indeed! Tom continues to captivate listeners as an entertainer who successfully mixes stage presence and musical artistry with a sincere audience connection.

“People don’t just come to hear your music,” says Browne, “they come to connect with you!”

In addition to his own award-winning solo work, Tom has been a featured artist, session player, and sideman to music luminaries in many genres including Bob James, Dave Grusin, Jeff Lorber, Najee, Roy Ayers, Joe Sample, Melba Moore, Ragan Whiteside, Bob Baldwin and a host of others.

With over three decades of composing, recording and performing under his belt, he continues to captivate listeners as an entertainer who has successfully mixed stage presence and musical artistry with a sincere audience connection and warmth.

Tom has certainly worked with the industry’s best and brightest, having shared the concert stage with Bob James, Dave Grusin, Najee, Roy Ayers, Joe Sample, Melba Moore and a host of others. Sought early on by Columbia Records, Warner Brothers and CTI, Browne was introduced (by Earl Klugh) to Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen, and subsequently signed his first recording contract with the newly formed GRP Records label. GRP and Browne produced some of the labels best hits including Funkin’ For Jamaica, Thighs High, Fungi Mama, Let’s Dance and Secret Fantasy. 

Today, Tom can be found on tour regularly. After selling out late summer concerts in The United Kingdom (Pizza Express and CLF Arts Cafe) and The Netherlands (North Sea Jazz Club), he went on to headline The Capital Jazz Cruise, Oxnard and Hub City Jazz Festivals, all receiving glowing reviews.
