Jim E. Brown- The Queue at Greggs
Jim E. Brown describes himself as a 19-year-old alcoholic singer-songwriter from Didsbury, Manchester. Despite all evidence to the contrary, he is committed to the bit, as are his fans. There are rumors he may actually be a former animation filmmaker from Philadelphia named Max Marguiles, but Brown frequently denies this in interviews.
Like fellow Mancunian Morrissey, he’s fond of what the British refer to as moaning. His lyrics, filled with the miseries of his daily life, also include things associated with England like pub food, the bakery chain Greggs, and local supermarkets like ASDA. In addition to the music, he also writes books and makes short videos complaining about various things he finds out and about.
He is currently in Europe on his world tour.
