Band Websitewww.myspace.com/joshbrooksvt
Band MembersJosh Brooks- acoustic / electric guitar, harmonica, lead vocals, songwriting. Kent Blackmer- all percussion, harmonica, vocals.
InfluencesWarren Zevon, Johnny Cash, Grant Lee Buffalo, Led Zeppelin, Drive-By-Truckers, The Bottle Rockets, Uncle Tupelo, Neil Young, The Rolling Stones, Steve Earle, Gillian Welch, Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, Hank Williams, Bob Dylan, The Black Keys, James McMurtry, Dennis Brennan, Merle Haggard, Fred Eaglesmith, The Band, Patty Griffin, not in that order.
Sounds LikeVermont singer, songwriter & guitarist Josh Brooks has been called “a storyteller and message-bearer whose word-smithery and hints of darkness keep you listening to the end” (Seven Days), and ’Vermont’s Johnny Cash’ (Northeast Performer). Whether solo or accompanied by drummer Kent Blackmer, Brooks effortlessly traverses the American Roots spectrum, from touching folk ballad, to foot-stomping honky-tonk, country blues and roots rock. Brooks is “a storyteller on stage” and “a man with a great sense of humor” (Lisa Sammett, The Music Box), with “a voice that runs the gamut from boisterous to soulful to sweet” (Monadnock Ledger). With three critically-acclaimed albums under his belt and a fourth on the way, Brooks is widely considered “one of the handful of Vermont artists with the sound, the original songs, and the voice to make the leap from local to national” (Vermont Public Radio).
Record LabelSWM looking for label. Likes moonlit walks.

Nick Bowers, Sound Recordings isn’t just a live sound recording studio.  Located in a 200 year old 3 bedroom bed and breakfast style farmhouse on 40 acres in Wolcott, Vermont, the project studio of NBSR offers great rates, a relaxed atmosphere, and the seclusion needed to lay down those most righteous of tracks.  And just like the mobile unit, there is never an initial mixing charge at Nick Bowers, Sound Recordings.

I wanted to surprise you at the Nectar's show in a few weeks (JB & His Band + trip to Burlington = perfect). But I'm having knee surgery 2 days before and I'm starting to question my ability to travel. Perhaps the Skinny Pancake instead...
