Austin, Texas Singer/Songwriter
Cross two famous guys named Brooks - Garth and Mel - and you get Austin folksinger Steve Brooks. A classic Texas troubadour who mixes storytelling, humor, heartbreak and cracker-barrel philosophy, his songs have been recorded by more than a dozen Americana artists, like Slaid Cleaves, Christine Albert and Russell Crowe. Wrote a song-a-week for Jim Hightower's nationally-syndicated radio show and reigned as six-time World Pun Champion. New CD, "I'll Take You Home," due out January 2016.
