According to Harpdog, at the end of the show, two audience members began shouting "Harpdog! Harpdog!"

Teamed up with Graham Guest on piano, he issued the album Naturally which was voted No. 1 Canadian Blues Album of 2010 by The Blind Lemon Survey.
His distinguished musical career was so honoured by the Maple Blues Awards in 2014, for harmonica player of the year, then again in 2015 and for the third time in a row in 2016.

Brown was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and was adopted into a family with a musical mother who played slide guitar.
Regarding his name, he said: "Being an adopted child meant I was named twice in the first few years of my life. I met my birth mother when I was twenty-eight years old."
