Past event
Jun 27, 2015, 8 to 10 PM

Josh Brooks, Vermont roots songwriter, will be bringing his talent to the stage at The Music Box in Craftsbury on Sat. June 27 at 8 PM. He is one of Lisa's singer/songwriters. Great modern ballards!

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, Guy Clark and John Prine will all find something to like in Josh Brooks, as he effortlessly traverses the American roots spectrum, from folk ballad to honky-tonk to talking blues. Brooks is a storyteller on stage and a man with a great sense of humor. Brooks has opened for Tom Rush, David Olney, Anais Mitchell, Shawn Mullins, Stacey Earle & Ellis Paul, and has performed at venues throughout the Northeast, including Caffe Lena and the Champlain Valley Folk Festival. His 2009 album Lesson Learned was named one of the year’s best local releases by The Burlington Free Press.

Whether Josh is telling a story from his life in spoken word or song, or pulling out his harmonica, playing a hard beating rhythm or a heartfelt ballad, Josh engages his audience into the world he paints with his music. One of Vermont’s best songwriters. Find out more about him and taste some tunes at www.joshbrooksmusic.com and at www.themusicboxvt.org or call 586-7533. All tickets $10 at the door!
