An Evening With
Jonatha Brooke

Singer/songwriter/guitarist Jonatha Brooke has been issuing albums that merge folk and pop since the early '90s, first as a member of a duo called the Story and then later as a solo artist. Brooke's solo debut, 1995's Plumb, was credited to Jonatha Brooke & the Story. But Brooke was the sole creditor beginning with 1997's 10 Cent Wings, which also marked a shift from her earlier folk-pop to more of a radio-friendly style. This continued on such further releases as 1999's Live and 2001's Steady Pull, the latter of which was co-produced by Brooke and renowned studioman Bob Clearmountain (who has worked with the likes of Bryan Adams, the Rolling Stones, the Corrs, and Hall & Oates, among countless others). Beginning in the late '90s, Brooke's albums were issued via her very own record label, Bad Dog; while in 2002, Brooke performed a pair of songs on Disney's Return to Never Land soundtrack, contributing an original composition ("I'll Try") and a cover ("The Second Star to the Right"). In 2004, Brooke performed a set of ten shows at the Public Theater in New York, the highlights of which were collected for the 2006 release of Live in New York, complete with a DVD of the concert. Careful What You Wish For followed in 2007.
