We spent an evening with Brittany and Kendra Jo Brook. We talk about life, performing, songwriting, people who inspire them, and how they navigate the complicated life of artists in the big city.
The Brook Sisters brought their special brand of singing, songwriting, and fun all the way from Judith Gap, Montana. Now, they make their living as actor-musicians in NYC. Check them out on YouTube.

Jo Kroger |

In our first artist spotlight, we interview Jo Kroger - an articulate, gifted, and deeply compassionate singer and songwriter. A long time New Yorker, she was born and raised in Southwestern Ohio. Her music combines a unique vocal timbre with smart, rhythmic songwriting. She performs an original song, and we talk about how to support other women who make art.
