CC Brooks
C. C. Brooks was Born Craig Cameron Brooks in Fort St. John, British Columbia on September 22nd. His parents forced him into the music world at an early age when they insisted that every child in the family take five years of Piano.
After what he describes as an eternity Craig was given, to his surprise, a drum kit for Christmas at age 11. Living on a staple diet of Kiss, Rush, BTO, and whatever other hard rock act he could afford with his allowance, Craig bashed away in front of his parents whenever he got the chance.
Two years later he started his first band, Simon Kaos, in his basement reluctantly taking to the drums, as he was the only kid around with a drum kit. Craig spent the next 20 years honing his craft as a percussionist and as a songwriter. He and his band Point Of Power, were signed to BMG and their music was released in Canada and Japan.
Some fifteen years later Craig’s desire to write took over and he spent four years writing and recording two albums in Nashville with the group Deere John placing five singles in the Canadian Country Music top 100. C.C. made the decision to get out from behind the drum kit and present an entirely new body of work.
His passion for songwriting and performing is evident with every note that he plays and sings on stage, bringing a vibrant intensity to every show. He continues to write and perform both in Canada and in his second home in Nashville Tennessee, where he performs at local songwriter venues such as Douglas Corner and The Bluebird Café.
Last fall C.C. entered Studio 19 in Franklin Tennessee with legendary producer Larry “The Blade” Rogers and some of Nashville top studio players to create his latest offering of Three songs, “Send Me A Song”, “The Bridges I’ve Burned” and his first single, Springtime In Nashville which will be released through Big Records June 23rd 2023.
