​
About Us - History
​
​Back 2 Eden is a rock and folk-influenced band whose sound blends heartfelt storytelling, tight harmonies, and rich musicianship reminiscent of the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, and The Allman Brothers Band. Founded by husband-and-wife duo Len and Patti Brown, the band brings together seasoned performers with decades of experience in recording, songwriting, and live performance.
Their debut worldwide album, A Thousand Miles, was released in September 2025 under their own independent label, Rhythm Road Records, and quickly began gaining attention on multiple platforms. Songs from the album are currently being featured on The Summit FM 91.3, iHeartRadio, and SiriusXM, while new Spotify playlists continue to pick up their music every week. With a growing following and an authentic sound rooted in both classic rock and Americana traditions, Back 2 Eden is rapidly becoming one of the most talked-about new acts in the region.
Back 2 Eden’s music captures life’s journey—its joys, struggles, and redemptive moments—with a style that feels both familiar and fresh. Their live performances are dynamic and heartfelt, filled with tight harmonies, engaging stage presence, and songs that connect across generations. Whether performing on large festival stages or in intimate listening rooms, the band’s goal is always the same: to move hearts, lift spirits, and remind audiences of the beauty of coming “Back to Eden.”

Meet the band:
Len Brown - Rhythm Guitar, Lead Male Vocals and Songwriter
Len learned to play guitar in high school. He's the "man behind the music" in Back 2 Eden. The majority of our originals are musically crafted by Len. He has a gift for coming up with unique melodies
for our songs. Once he’s finished, the rest of the band crafts their parts. By day, Len is director and producer and a three-time regional Emmy Award winning film maker. He’s also the husband of the bands drummer Patti Brown.
Patti Brown - Drums and Songwriter
Patti began playing drums at the age of 8 and has since become the creative force behind the lyrics of Back 2 Eden. Almost all the original songs are penned by Patti, who also takes pride in crafting the rhythmic backbone of the band with her drumming. In addition to her musical talents, Patti is an accomplished author, having written the book "Divine Possibilities.” She’s also the wife
of Len Brown.
Tim Kidder - Keyboard and harmony vocals
Tim has been playing the piano since a young age, making it almost inevitable that he would one day join a band. He not only writes the keyboard parts for our songs but also enriches our sound with his skillful piano and synthesizer playing, all while
adding depth with his backup vocals. And, of course, he does it all while rocking a majestic beard and mustache.
Karl “Kap” Papp - Lead Guitar, Male Vocals, Song Writer
“Kap” has been playing guitar since 1972 and teaching guitar since 1977. He is a highly skilled musician, proficient in both electric and acoustic guitar, with a knack for adding his unique touch to every piece he plays. Kap’s talents extend beyond his guitar skills; he is also a remarkable singer with a distinctive bluesy style and a rockin beard.
John Davis - Bass
John has been playing the bass for 50+ years and has played with different bands professionally in the 70s and early 80s. He has travelled around the eastern U.S. as a professional, playing clubs with different bands, and even did some recording with the band Brimstone. "I have loved music and performing most of my life. It's always special to hook up with musicians you respect and care about. They become family."
