NYC-based bass player / Chapman Stick / synth

Brooke Lynn McGowan is a singer-songwriter currently based in NYC. She draws inspiration from her background in Musical Theater, and artists such as Sandy Denny, Joni Mitchell and Carole King. She began performing at the age of 8 at Centenary College in a company called the Young Performers Workshop (YPW). She performed in the tri-state region as a teenager, notably with the CityKids Repertory Company and in cabarets at venues such as Don't Tell Mama's. After receiving her BA in Theater Studies & Musical Theater at Montclair State University, Brooke began singing with the rock band “Loud Day” in 2009. Realizing that she wanted to find her voice and sing her own songs, she began writing and performing at open mics in the East Village. After a time of performing professionally, recording a CD of standards called "Maybe This Time" and teaching music in the San Francisco Bay Area, she has returned to NYC. Brooke is in progress writing a musical and recording an album of her original songs. She is also currently the co-host of the Christopher Street Coffeehouse open mic.
