Caroline Brooks grew up in the midst of music. She slept in guitar cases while her father taught music lessons, bounced on her mother’s knee during band practice, was bundled up and brought on the road with her parents' band Brookfield and learned to sing harmony at 12 years old while listening obsessively to Paul Simon's Graceland. Harmony is really where it all began. In 1997, Caroline and sister Katherine formed a duo called The Brooks Sisters. They played extensively across Southern Ontario while finishing high school and as Caroline earned a degree in Environmental Studies at the University of Toronto. It was during those formative years that the sisters reigned in their own unique sound and released their first album "The Carport Sessions” with good friend and producer Graeme Cornies. The 2005 album's "soaring harmonies and vivid imagery" served them well, landing them important opening spots for folk-darling Katherine Wheatley and world-renowned Ron Sexsmith. In December 2006, while Katherine welcomed her first child into the world, Caroline struck up a musical partnership with Toronto songstresses Sue Passmore and Kerri Ough. After singing three-part harmony to a packed room at the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto, the three ladies formed The Good Lovelies. They released their first EP “Oh My!” in July 2007 to great acclaim and set off on their first national tour entitled “Riches to Rags” in 2008. The three young multi-instrumentalists have since graced stages at Canadian Music Week, Mariposa, Shelter Valley, and Ottawa Folk Festivals and won the 2007 “Best Folk” category at the Toronto Independent Music Awards. They are set to release their first full-length self-titled album in January 2009 with producers Les Cooper and Adam King. Juno Award winner David Francey has said that "There's nothing out there that sounds like The Good Lovelies - and that sound is just beautiful..." Caroline finds the greatest joy in collaborations, and along with her two best friends and bandmates is often found harmonizing with great songwriters like Scott Cooper, Ron Leary, and Ben Sures. Her solo show is a rare find, and will likely remain that way for the years to come, so if you get a chance, jump on it. She’s friendly and would love to share her songs with you. Maybe you’ll join in with a harmony. 更多>>
