MARDE BROOKS
As MarDe Brooks' very first notes hit the air, you hear the impact of a young boy spinning his daddy's vinyl collection, you feel the echoes of the small Alabama mill town on the banks of the Chattahoochee River--and you hear his heart!

This powerhouse vocalist and rhythm guitarist wrote his first collection of songs in just under a year at his home in Valley, Alabama after spending 11 years as the frontman of the rock band Fifth Element. During his time with Fifth Element, they opened for heavy hitters Blackberry Smoke and Drivin' and Cryin'- just to name a couple.
Brooks felt the call to write and perform his own original music and reached out to a songwriter friend in Mississippi. He then decided to record his new songs and signed up to work with producer and engineer, Greg McGowan, at his studio, Rose City Recording in Charleston, West Virginia.
As his lyrics say, "Even if you do things the right way, you don't always get what is earned." But sometimes--and especially in this case--MarDe Brooks will definitely get what is earned. In fact, he just made an album that you'll be singing along with for a long time to come.
