Ed Brown is a former bronc rider and a founding member of the Manitoba Rodeo Association (M.R.C.A.). In 1997 Ed was inducted into the M.R.C.A Hall of Fame. In addition to ten years as a rodeo cowboy and seven years working with racehorses, Ed has worked as a trapper, commercial fisherman, musician and wildlife artist. This diversity of occupations, along with a sense of humor developed through a life-long association with cowboys, trappers and various other colorful characters, is reflected in his exclusively original poems, songs and stories. Some of Ed's accomplishments to date include being featured on several TV documentaries such as Cowboys, Heroes and Horses That I've Known & Minstrels of The West. He has appeared in several magazine articles and done guest spots on a variety of TV and radio shows including Spirit of The West and more recently Canadian Cowboy Country TV . Ed has headlined at almost all of the major cowboy poetry gatherings and festivals in Western Canada and in 2005 was named Manitoba's Cowboy Poet of The Year. Recently, Ed's third CD , Cowboy Collaboration a joint project between Ed and fellow poet Bj Smith, was honored by the Academy of Western Artists in Dallas Texas receiving the coveted Will Rogers Award for Cowboy Poetry CD of The Year
When not touring in Alberta, Ed resides
near Oak Lake Manitoba where he makes his living as a wildlife sculptor and
cowboy performer. "Ed Brown is the real deal. He
has a natural story telling ability and it comes through in his songs and
poetry. No fiction going on here. I can't think of a better way to spend an
evening than to listen to Ed share his life and talents." Lee Bellows Pro Rodeo Clown " Ed Brown was referred to us back in 2003 as
a feature main stage artist for the Stony Plain Cowboy Gathering.
Ed's performance lived up to that billing and more, adding his personality
and talent as a songwriter, musician, poet, visual artist and good friend to
the gathering.Ed has a standing invitation to Stony Plain and I'm proud to have
been associated with an artist of his caliber." John Lindsay President, Stony Plain Cowboy Poetry Music & Art Gathering |
