“For my money, HCB is one of the best lyricists – and poets – in the country. His work at the keyboards is poetry too.” — Steven Heighton

On Pacem 2, Brown mirrors present-day events in the turbulent episodes of 1968, drawing parallels with the violence, disinformation and drastic efforts of authoritarian regression.

The album transcends genres, with piano instrumentals like 1968 and Beautiful Place side by side with pop songs like Your Love, Guilty and the poetic collage of Prometheus.

Released April 1, 2024

“Pacem 2 is Brown’s masterpiece. The song structures are so unique and compelling and Brown’s piano playing is so sophisticated and lyrical. There are few albums that are as genre-defying in style... At a time we are pulled in so many other directions, this album is a rare guided meditation. If you believe that music is a catalyst for healing, then you will love Pacem 2.”
— Ira Israel, Good Men Project

"...Some of the finest songs of his extensive discography. (Pacem 1 & 2) sound like the story of Brown’s life, about his personal philosophy (pacem is Latin for peace), about the intersection of his professional and social spheres, about his varied musical and political interests — and about where he’s at right now."
— Michael Barclay, That Night In Toronto

BEFORE THE COLLAPSE OF THE HIVE

Before The Collapse Of The Hive

Listen / Buy
Before The Collapse Of The Hive is an album brimming with raw, unflinching urgency, steadfast observation and soul-searching storytelling that highlights Stephen’s immediate world: those he loves, and those he’s lost. This album looks deeper at our collective place in a world seemingly falling apart. It’s a continued conversation between Stephen and his close friend and beloved radio enigma, Dave Bookman, whom Stephen shared the loss of, just prior to starting to work on these songs.
