Captivated by fingerstyle guitar, and playing from an early age, two of Octobers highlights were opening for her guitar hero John Renbourn and her favourite band Fairport Convention.

She has played around the world in various musical capacities, which range from musical director and band member to accompanist and soloist.

She has performed and toured with artists such as Oliver Schroer, Owen Pallett, Loretto Reid, Kirk Elliott, The Hidden Cameras,  Madlove, The Harbord Trio, Evelyne Datl, Cindy Thompson, Sharlene Wallace, Anne Lederman, Brenna MacCrimmon and Laurel MacDonald.

October was a founding member of “Morgaine Le Fay” alongside Jamie Snider, Pat O'Gorman and Andy Stochansky. The band toured across North America for seven years and released two albums.

Recently she has been touring North America as a solo artist as well as in a duo with P.E.I. jazz  and Celtic artist Teresa Doyle and with Celtic band “Nollaig”.

She has recently toured Ontario, Western Canada and the Prairies as part of “Home Routes”.

In 2008  she was awarded the CIUT radio “Lenny Breau Porcupine Award”

for “Quetzel”,  her CD of guitar instrumentals.

October has recorded four of her own CD's on which she plays guitar, mandolin, cittern, bodhran and fiddle and is working on a fifth.

Her first album entitled “October Browne” won Porcupine Award for best production – produced by Evelyne Datl.

Her composition “Waterford Girls” was chosen as the first track on the Borealis Records release 'Six Strings North of the Border” in 2006.

Her co-composition “Lady of the Streets” appeared on the highly acclaimed compilation “Stuck on a Cold Steel Pole” (Duke Street Records).

She can also be heard on compilations with artists such as George Michael and Bruce Cockburn.

October has become known for her intimate, heartfelt guitar pieces, emotive singing, and is one of a small handful of women who have released a solo guitar instrumental album.
