Philip John Brooks, singer/songwriter/ guitarist, delights audiences with renditions of oldies but goodies, jazz standards, bluegrass, country standards, blues, and his original compositions from band albums and solo CD’s. Just when you think you have his style pegged, he surprises with a unique twist.

The professional music scene in Great Britain, Europe, and the U.S. has been his niche for the past few decades. He takes great pride in appealing to diverse audiences while attaining the highest level of professionalism.

Music has always been the backdrop of his life. At 15 years of age, he was recording in Decca Studios in London. He continued to gain musical experience through the years in Cabaret, Musical Stage Productions, an Irish Showband, a well known Country Rock Band, a Las Vegas Showband, and writing music for TV and for Computer Software Programs.

Growing up on the far Northwest coast of England, he experienced a unique view of life. He learned the dangers and trials of trawler fishing from fishermen around the home hearth. It is from his heart and soul that he writes of these men and the places and events remembered from those times in his first solo CD, “Fishermen of Fleetwood”.

Being attracted to people and their individual stories, he is enthralled by the unique history of the various geographical regions of the U.S. especially the Southwest and the Southeast. By unlocking the provocative nature of history, Brooks pens songs about people, places and events…songs capable of breathing life into long forgotten heroes and their special dance with life. These songs populate his lastest solo CD’s.

It is the melding of his songs, his command of the guitar, his ever changing vast repertoire and his professionalism that allow him to captivate and entertain. He draws in his audience with his exceptional musical talent and his soft accent.
