BREAKING NEWS - British recording star Katey Brooks is making a surprise stop on her cross Canada tour and stopping in Brighton to perform for the citizens of Northumberland! She is coming to do a benefit concert for the arts in Brighton on Friday June 3rd at The Arts Club at 8 Loyalist Drive Unit 3. We are so excited. Concert Times are 7 pm and 9 pm Tickets are only $10 with a portion of proceeds going to support local arts projects.
Its a real honor to have such a star come to our town.
Singer-songwriter Katey Brooksʼ unique sound epitomizes the culturally diverse environment in which
she grew up. Born and raised between Bristol, London and Arizona to musical parents, the Indie
Award nominee is best described as a female Hozier, with all the haunting intensity and every bit of the
soul.
With a “voice to melt glaciers” (Venue Magazine) Brooks is at home anywhere she can take her guitar.
From the London 2012 Olympics to Glastonbury Festival, from WOMAD to Abbey Road, Brooksʼ
“devastating vocal talent” (Just Music That I Like) has garnered her admirers from across the spectrum
of the industry, seeing her feature on tracks with Paloma Faith, Imelda May, The Rolling Stonesʼ Bill
Wyman, Nick Mason of Pink Floyd and Brian May – not to mention sharing the bill with acts like
Newton Faulkner, Ghostpoet, Deaf Havana and Mystery Jets.
Fast becoming a radio favourite, “not to be missed” (Time Out) Brooksʼ music has been hailed on BBC
Radio 1, 2 and 6, and she's recently been added to the Starbucks playlist worldwide. The haunting,
ethereal sound of her latest I Fought Lovers EP is prelude to the sonic largesse of future releases, as
she heads to the studio to record her new album with a few of Britainʼs finest.
Having led a fascinating life with a vivid cast of characters, Brooks takes to the road often, to draw
inspiration from the people she meets. The writing for her current album began in the chaos of London
life, continuing on tour in the dusty expanse of Australia at the beginning of 2015, and finding its
completion on the side of a beautiful little mountain in the Welsh wilderness. Now under the wing of UK
based label Abandon Music Group, Brooks has just returned from a winter of touring in Europe and
Australia, and is in the studio recording a brand new album. With a busy summer of festivals and
concerts lined up, you can catch her live on tour in Canada, Germany, Holland, the UK, and more!
