Geraldine Brooke is a songwriter's songwriter. An accomplished musician on several instruments, she has a natural gift for writing heartfelt and memorable melodies, and she has captured audiences and listeners for many years. Her four-octave range and incredible versatility have enabled her to work and record with several major artists such as Mary-Chapin Carpenter, Smokey Robinson, and Richie Havens.
Now it is her catalogue of over 150 original songs that is getting the attention these days. Her songs and themes have a rich and wonderful quality about them that is real and timeless, intimate yet universal. Geraldine is a uniquely talented and gifted artist and melodic writer who confidently crosses genres while expressing a range of emotions and experiences. Her songs are very well-crafted, and she has always prided herself on well-produced and arranged recordings. From acoustic to country to blues to pop, she has mastered it all.
Her brand new album, “Songs Of The Heart”, is a richly personal journey through life’s challenges and heartache to its possibilities and joyous moments. “This recording project began as a labor of love to honor the memory of my dearest friend and mentor, Kit Kamien, who sadly had passed away. He was such a wonderful inspiration and an incredible musician and songwriter. I am very proud of this body of work. There is a very special feeling you get as you hear each song, and of course, it is very close to my heart. I hope you will enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.”
My new CD, "Songs Of The Heart", is on the ballot for the 8th Annual Independent Music Awards in the Country album category, and the following 3 songs from the album are on the ballot for the 51st Annual Grammy Awards in the Song Of The Year, Best Female Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Song categories:

“It's a great CD and wonderful songs. You and your band of musicians should be very proud of this. I love it !! The first two are my favorites yet there are three or four others that grow and grow on me and compete for attention. 'It's not over...' is one, 'What would I do?'...both of them !! Let's face it they're ALL brilliant. Well done and I think you have a winner here.”
