Austin Brown Celebrates 'The Festival' Album Release With Surprise Performances by his Mom, Rebbie Jackson, Andra Day, Anderson .Paak and Evan Ross
The West Hollywood event marked the launch of Austin Brown’s first-ever residency and featured a night of legacy, soul, and unforgettable musical moments with family and friends.
On April 23, the singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist celebrated the release of his new album, The Festival, with an intimate party that turned into a history-making jam session filled with unexpected performances, family cameos, and legacy-affirming vibes. In a moment that felt equal parts spiritual and sonic, Andra Day joined Brown for a stripped-back, emotionally raw version of Erykah Badu’s “Bag Lady”, her signature rasp floating perfectly over Austin’s guitar. Anderson .Paak followed suit with a funkier flip on the same Badu classic mixed with a bit of Nate Dogg, jamming with Brown in an impromptu performance that reminded everyone why Paak is one of the most electrifying artists of his generation.
