ABOUT BROOKE CAMPBELL
Brooke Campbell is a singer/songwriter, recently transplanted to Nashville, TN from Manhattan.

Initially playing in predominately church-related settings, she has been taken with every facet of the world, forcing frequent changes in perspective and understanding. This is reflected in her music that both reaches out to God and searches within.
Brooke was signed to the Arch Music Group in 2000 and has toured extensively as a solo artist.

In recent years, she has recorded 2 albums independently: "Better"(2006), a live recording with jazz guitarist Paul Miller and "Sugar Spoon", with William Berlind, released in early 2009.

Collaborations have also been under way. Leslie Scott, choreographer for Bodyart Dance, has worked with Brooke on several projects, including a performance set to "Arms of the Atlantic" at the International Dance Festival in New York and
a video project set around "What Do You Do?" that they completed with Reid Farrington (details on the Links page).

Brooke began performing at 22 following a spiritual awakening and by her own admission, struggles mightily to remain awake. Her music catalogues this journey. Perhaps you will relate.
