Meet Dom Brown

Dom‘s journey with Duran Duran began in 2004 when he stepped in as a stand-in for lead guitarist Andy Taylor. His undeniable skill and chemistry with the band led to him becoming the full-time lead guitarist in 2006. Over the past 18 years, Dom has been an integral part of Duran Duran’s continued success, contributing to four world tours and three albums. His songwriting prowess shines through in over 20 songs he co-wrote for their last two albums, “All You Need Is Now” (2011) and “Paper Gods” (2015).

2022 was a banner year for Duran Duran, with Dom playing a crucial role in their high-profile performances. From headlining Hyde Park in London to a crowd of 70,000, to sold-out shows at The Hollywood Bowl and Madison Square Garden, Dom’s guitar work has been front and centre . The band also graced stages at prestigious events such as the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, The Commonwealth Games opening ceremony, and their induction into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Dom’s Choice: The Laney LFR-412

Dom has recently integrated the Laney LFR-412 into his touring rig with Duran Duran. Here’s what he has to say about it:

“I’ve been using the Laney LFR-412s on stage with Duran Duran the last few months. They are extremely transparent and don’t colour the sound so I can achieve the same tones as if playing my Kemper through my ATC studio monitors. A great addition to my touring rig and I highly recommend them.”
