Brook Batteau with Brown Bones at Hawks and Reed

Brook Batteau with Brown Bones at Hawks and Reed

Brook is a singer and a songwriter. His songs are about love and lust and kisses
and tears and phantoms invited to the cocktail party. He wears his heart on his
sleeve with lyrics that emulate real life revelations and mysteries. His voice is
masterful, with a full range of sounds, both raw and sophisticated, so you get a
little Roy Orbison, a little David Byrne, a little Antony & the Johnsons, a little
Barry White, a little Rufus, both Wainwright and Chaka Khan. He doesn’t pretend
to be something he’s not and he’ll draw you into a world that certainly and
obviously is. Brook grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts USA with a very
musical family. He lives in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts USA.

“My ‘gift’ is my singing voice and the delivery to the listener. It’s always from my
heart, sometimes big and loving, sometimes soft and melancholy. I’m a little soul,
a little indie, a little show tune-esque. I’ve been doing this a long time and am
really good at entertaining the audience, engaging with them and showing off my
vocal abilities.”
