Here at the farm, we know Brian Templeton as the spiritual, mild- mannered family man who drives a pickup and wrangles our cows. But that is only the Clark Kent side of Brian. There is a Superman side, too. At night, when the time is right, Brian ditches his muck boots and overalls, he grabs a microphone and a harmonica, and he tears up the stage as the leader of a globe-trotting blues band. Brian is known literally all over the world for his energetic, audience-thrilling performances as well as his first-rate songwriting and musicianship. On top of all that, Brian is the founder and President of Blind Lemon Aid, a non-profit organization that raises money to benefit the homeless and underprivileged. It’s enough to make the rest of us cowboys scratch our heads, spit in the dirt, and wonder what we are doing in all our spare time!
Meet Brian

Get Out! I chair the Board of Margeurite’s Place, a nonprofit in downtown Nashua which provides shelter and housing for young women and children. Blind Lemon Aid recently hosting a show featuring Johnny A which generated big bucks for my charity. Thanks Brian! Didn’t know the connection to Normanton. Look forward to seeing you on the farm.
