Private Home in Seattle
Seattle, WA

Share this event:

"I write songs to calm those who've looked into, and seen, what is in their hearts. I also write songs to terrify those who have not." -- Jon Brooks

You are cordially invited to an intimate night of original music and conversation with Toronto's JON BROOKS. Jon's fifth album, The Smiling and Beautiful Countryside, was released November 1, 2014 by Borealis Records and was nominated for two 2015 Canadian Folk Music Awards: Contemporary Album of the Year and English Songwriter of the Year.

On March 3, Jon will be playing a "House Concert" hosted at a private home in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. Bring a stylish cushion to sit on, a friend or two, and your own beer/wine. Share this with your music-loving friends -- for less than the price of a couple of pints at the pub, you can enjoy a private concert with Jon. Who knew life could be so sweet?

This special event is limited to 45 people. Please buy a ticket in advance to guarantee a night to remember. Once you purchase your tickets, you will receive additional details regarding this event, including the venue address.

Jon's back story:
Nearing the end of a year of travel in 1997 throughout Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and particularly, throughout war ruined Bosnia-Herzegovina, Jon Brooks discovered what kind of song he wanted to write. In 2005, he began writing and performing that song -- the song that looks for the soul of things. In 2010, Jon became the fourth Canadian since 1975 to win the prestigious Kerrville (TX) New Folk Award. Founder of The Kerrville Folk Festival, the late Rod Kennedy, said of Jon: "(Brooks) speaks and sings words that need to be spoken and sung and he does it beautifully, perfectly, and with absolute finesse." Jon Brooks has been nominated four times for English Songwriter of the Year by the Canadian Folk Music Awards (2007, 2009, 2012 and 2015).
