"Many emerging singers are split between sounding just like the latest singing sensation or trying to be excessively original. Potential fans don’t want an impersonator nor something so original they can’t relate. On the fine line between the split lies the perfect gem. Stacy Brooks demonstrates that perfect balance of harnessing the influences of her legendary mentors and diverse musical styles and injecting that with her own fresh ideas into creations and interpretations she can call her own. Any Blues music fan will be glad to add Stacy to their collection.”

Stacy Brooks, has one of the most amazing voices in R&B world I've ever heard.
She has a mixture of Phyllis Hyman and Jill Scott all rap in one. Stacy has a way of keeping her audience at bay with her funky Blues sounds that captivate you from a far.
I had the pleasure of hearing Stacy Brooks and the band not too long ago, and was truly impressed. Stacy is going to take the Blues music to a whole new level and make her fans feel good about the blues music like B.B. King, Bobby Blue Bland, and Etta James used to do.

Stacy Brooks singing brings pure elegance to live Blues & Jazz as her band
always electrifies the crowd. Stacy's outstanding voice and warm stage
presence guarantees a great performance-whether she is singing one of her
original blues tunes or riffing along on an old jazz favorite. Her show is
not to be missed.

"Stacy Brooks auspiciously hit the Metro DC Blues scene only a few years ago. She brought a fresh, brassy, honey-voiced richness to the local Blues tapestry. There must be more than one of Stacy to play the many venues in which she has appeared as the main act or an in-demand sit-in. Stacy's ever-improving talent and showmanship are propelled by her boundless energy and marketing prowess. In just a few years Stacy has kicked up a lot of dust on stages all over the region."

Over the years I've worked with
many great lady singers that have
gone on to their own fame and
fortune, and I got to tell you that
Stacy Brooks is the real deal singer.
In a world where too many singers
thinking screaming is singing, it is
tough to find a pure lady singer, that
can sing in the Billie Holiday smooth
traditional format, but can let go and
jam when appropriate. Like many
great blues singers, mastering blues,
jazz, R&B and Soul is in her bag of
vocal renditions, and greatly worth
your time to check her sites out.

Bio
The Stacy Brooks Band was formed in February 2007, and Stacy was nominated for "New Artist of the Year" by The Washington Area Music Association that year. Fast Forward to 2009, in her short span on the blues circuit she has shared the stage with blues legends Bobby Parker, Kenny Neal, Eddie Shaw, The Nighthawks, Mudcat, Daryl Davis, Willie “Big Eyes” Smith, Billy Branch, Robert "Bob" Stroger, Memphis Gold and Lil Dave Thompson to name a few. Her highly anticipated debut CD, Love Peace & The Blues is coming due out in the Spring of 2010 in which Stacy wrote and arranged 11 of the songs. She is the executive producer and also plays percussions on all of the songs. The cover's haven't torn apart, but are slightly bent and her zest has been added. The CD features a duet with legendary Bluesman Kenny Neal and some other musicians you might recognize. As her blues mentors, Memphis Gold and Kenny Neal also serve as musicians and co-producers of the CD. Having spent her childhood in Germany, she loves to stun her audience by singing in German. Check out Stacy’s video's on You Tube. Her original song "My name is Stacy" is in rotation at WPFW 89.3fm.
