Cinnamon Brown & the Eskimos

Cinnamon Brown & the Eskimos was an American rock band formed on Halloween 1997. Known for their energetic live performances and rootsy, road-ready sound, the group released two independent albums, toured regionally throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, and earned notable recognition including a performance at the 2002 Winter Olympics alongside The Beach Boys. After disbanding in 2003, the band is reuniting for a one-night-only show on June 5, 2026 at Velour in Provo, Utah.
