Kind words about Pacem:

“There’s a lot about this record that reminds me of Van Morrison, the deep spirituality and the fluid jazz notes being the foremost. Brown has a range of talents and founded a program to introduce music to prisons. He’s a fearless artist.” Americana UK

“Pacem is one of those albums that works on the listener from the inside out. The more I listen, the more I am astonished by its depth and intricacy. ..masterfully constructed songs, stream of consciousness epic ballads, and a piano instrumental where Brown gently demonstrates his virtuoso talents and interpretive depth.” Ira Israel, Huffington Post

““Pacem” is more than just a record; it is a living, breathing experience.” Great Dark Wonder


“A cathartic, vulnerable piece of work, Pacem brings feelings of serenity and introspection to the listener.” Canadian Beats


“It’s the most musically diverse collection Brown has ever put out, and it’s a welcome return from a songwriter who has a lot to give.”  Michael Barclay, Radio Free Canuckistan

“As one of Canada’s consummate musicians over the past three decades, Hugh Christopher Brown has always tapped into the spiritual healing power of song…It’s the kind of soul music few artists outside of, say, Van Morrison, ever attempt…” Jason Schneider FYI Music News

“Hugh Christopher “Chris” Brown has a tendency to find music — actually, he would say that it finds him — in the most unexpected places: while at a funeral, sitting in a Toronto lawyer’s kitchen, or even from behind bars.” Peter Hendra/ Kingston Whig-Standard

“Keeper of the Flame” is a delicate, thoughtful shuffler led by piano and Brown’s sincere vocals that focuses on following your inner light.” The Daily Country


“An album best heard in the late hours, preferably with a broken heart or a sense of ennui, PACEM is an excellent collection of songs on which to ponder.” Paul Kerr/Blabber ‘N Smoke

“Pacem emphatically joins singer-songwriter records from a few decades ago and initially reminded me of Van Morrison’s classics. In the end, however, the Canadian manages to free himself from the past with ease and makes music that matters in 2018.” Erwin Zijleman/dekrentenuitdepop (Netherlands)
