Vermont 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).  Fans of Steve Earle, Richard Shindell, Johnny Cash and Ryan Adams will all find something to like in Josh Brooks, as he 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).  Brooks has opened for Tom Rush, Shawn Mullins, Stacey Earle, David Olney & Ellis Paul, and his 2009 release Lesson Learned was named one of the year’s best by The Burlington Free Press.  A mild-mannered kindergarten teacher and father of three daughters by day, Josh is currently recording his fifth album of original music.
