Satchel Brown was born in a basement in Morgantown, West Virginia in late 2002. The band consists of a bunch of friends from the area, and was named after the brown satchel that Mike Mastrantoni still carries everywhere to this day. The band spent early 2003 in a basement, getting ready for live shows in Morgantown. Once things started coming together, Satchel Brown hit the streets of Morgantown in May, 2003. Here is a look at the band around that time.

In late 2005, after two years of live shows and lots of fun, the band gained a very valuable piano player, and the music took on a whole new atmosphere. The band members started a company called The Rock Ranch LLC, and have now played for audiences such as the US Air Force, The West Virginia Day festival around Charleston, West Virginia, and of course, Gibbies in Morgantown. Here's a look at the band in 2006.

In late 2007, Satchel Brown lost two of its original members. Dave Davis and Chris Overcash set out to find new adventures while living in Las Vegas, NV. The remaining Satchel Brown members immediately starting looking for a replacement drummer, and found one in Joe "Beppo" King. Beppo is an amazing drummer, and has known Mike for some time. Mike approached Beppo about the position after Dave and Chris left, and Beppo got involved.
