Pagans have gotten a bum rap. The worship of nature is our oldest spiritual impulse, and these days, it might be just what we need to save our planet from ourselves. Steve talks and sings about the Wiccan and Native American paths, and how he found out he was a Born-Again Pagan. Learn about the real old-time religion, and help God get in touch with His feminine side.
Welcome to the multi-faceted world of Austin folksinger Steve Brooks. He’s a writer and performer whose creativity points in many directions. His songs have been recorded by more than a dozen folk and Americana artists, like Slaid Cleaves, Russell Crowe and Albert & Gage. His two most recent CDs, “I’ll Take You Home” and “Chasing Grace,” have been played on more than 100 folk and Americana stations coast-to-coast. In an earlier incarnation on radio, he was a humorist who wrote a song-a-week for Jim Hightower’s nationally-syndicated talk show.
When he’s not onstage, you can find him in a pulpit, speaking on topics like “Songwriting As a Spiritual Path.” Or in a library, introducing kids to classic American folk songs. Or flexing his wits as six-time World Pun Champion. If that’s not enough, he’s been an award-winning journalist for over 25 years. Kick off your shoes and poke around a bit. You’ll find plenty to keep you entertained and inspired, and you’ll find out why Stave Magazine calls Steve “simply the most clever man you’ll hear with a guitar.”
