From Brooks:

“I come from humble beginnings in Conway, SC. I quit guitar lessons as a kid because it was too hard. One day I felt a burning desire to pick it up again. I joined the Navy, and deployments were the perfect time to practice.

After leaving active duty, and spending some time as an Army contractor, I decided to come home to South Carolina. I owned a restaurant for a few years and graduated from PT school, then that burning desire to pursue music became an inferno.

I finally decided to pursue this dream, and this year I moved to Nashville! I sing, I write, and I cover music from every genre and generation. Most of the time, it’s just me and my guitar, but you can catch me with my lead guitarist Charles Riley more often than not. I play from the heart. What I feel, I sing. I hope a few others can feel it with me.”
