Tony Brown (born December 11, 1946) is an American country music record producer.
He was born in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Brown played piano for Elvis Presley. He toured with the TCB Band for much of Presley's final two years and was a part of the 1976 "Jungle Room" recording sessions at Graceland. In 1979 he joined Emmylou Harris's legendary Hot Band, taking over for former Presley sideman Glen D. Hardin. Brown stayed with Harris until 1981. Later, he became a session musician in Nashville and toured with acts such as Rosanne Cash.
After leaving that position, Brown became a producer, producing albums for several artists, predominantly on the MCA Nashville Records label. Among these acts were Tracy Byrd, Steve Earle, Vince Gill, The Mavericks, McBride & the Ride, Reba McEntire and George Strait. In the 1980s, he was also the keyboardist for The Cherry Bombs, Rodney Crowell's backing band.
