Multiple Grammy Award-nominee Greg Brown will return to the Treehouse Café at 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8 for a special 21-and-older one-night-only concert.

Brown’s songbook is the stuff of Americana legend. His material has been covered by dozens of artists, including Willie Nelson, Carlos Santana, Iris DeMent, Ani DiFranco, Gillian Welch, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Joan Baez, Victoria Williams, Robert Earl Keen, Shawn Colvin, Richie Havens and Tim and Mollie O’Brien.

One of American folk music’s most prolific and profound singer/songwriters of the past three decades, Brown has earned respect from his peers and a far-flung, passionately devoted fan base. His burnished, intimate baritone and seemingly effortless gift for swinging, organic melody, combine with a humble, unvarnished poetic grace that can imbue even the most mundane, everyday human endeavors and emotions with quiet dignity, startling insight and gently twisted humor.

He has recorded more than two dozen albums, including his 1986 release “Songs of Innocence and of Experience,” when he put aside his own lyric writing to set poems of William Blake to music.

Rolling Stone’s four-star review of his album “Further In” called Brown “a wickedly sharp observer of the human condition,” and 1997’s “Slant 6 Mind” earned Brown his second Grammy nomination.
