Jimmy P Brown II
In the universe of white metal, Jimmy P. Brown II (JPBII) is well known as the legendary front man and leader of the epic band Deliverance.
Deliverance has evolved over the years as JPBII explored, expanded, and adapted the many influences filling his soul. Throughout these years, JPBII has tried to appease Deliverance fans from the melodic years (Learn, River Disturbance, Camelot in Smithereens) and the thrash years (Deliverance, Weapons of Our Warfare). In fact, the latest release “The Subversive Kind” is a nod to the fans of the early thrash era Deliverance albums.
As the founder and primary songwriter, JPBII has consistently been the main and driving force for this highly influential band. JPBII’s career musical output outside of Deliverance includes the 70’s glam rock of Jupiter VI, the dark wave of Fearful Symmetry, the melodic rock of his EraserHead project, and a vast number of recordings that include cover songs of Lauren Daigle all the way to Iron Maiden.

Throughout the years, Jim sat in for many shows and tours with Deliverance due to his talent and his relationship with founder Jimmy P Brown II (JPBII).
