Depending up
the show, you might want some or all of the following paragraphs? Or, you may
want to put other information in place of
some of these. For instance, for a pagan show, you might want to talk
about Brook’s paganism and/ or local paganism or pagan groups. Or, for a
benefit or a more political event, that
copy might go here. Feel free to use material from Brook’s bio, press kit, or
web site.
In his acoustic shows, Brook has been working with unique
new percussive and open string acoustic guitar arrangements along with more
conventional techniques like his signature slide guitar work.
Brook is currently performing material from his first
solo release, “The Great Blues Sea”, recently released by Melusine Records in
“There’s nothing like Brook
in the pagan music world. I’m very excited about his new album.” Anne Hill, CEO
of Serpentine Music. Wendy Wizardwoman, of www.wgds.net, Goddess Radio says
about “The Great Blues Sea”, "Your music is so unique. We listen to *a
lot* of music as you may guess, and your CD is so refreshing. It's made it from
the play on the station only stack of Cd's to the personal stack!” The CD is available at CDbaby.com.
With “The Great Blues Sea”, Brook
explores his musical roots through a series of 13 musically related but highly
diverse selections. Accompanying Brook’s vocals and guitar playing, a list of fine
San Francisco Bay Area musicians make appearances. Among these are Bruce
Unsworth, Ellen Hoffman, and djembe master Jeffrey Alphonsus Mooney.
The following paragraph is the bio information.
