Brook Faulk

Brook Faulk an indie/alt country singer songwriter acoustic artist that will be in the Boise area during April as part of an unprecedented “North meets South” Northwest tour.
¬¬The love of music for singer/songwriter Brook Faulk comes from the same motto that makes most businesses successful…location, location, location. Raised on a cattle ranch under the Western sky, Brook comes from a long line of real cowboys and rodeo men. She grew up listening to all the old country favorites with her dad, while driving down the long dusty roads. It was there that Brook developed her love affair with music. A throwback from the past, she began singing at a young age, quickly finding her way into the rural music scene of country fairs, coffee houses, and local honkytonks.
Brook made her first trip to record in Nashville in 2003. Since that time, she has traveled back and fourth between her home in Anchorage, Alaska, and the south, where she is always busy recording and playing shows. Brook has spent the past four years performing in Alaska playing to a packed house as a front person for the most in-demand band in the state.

CRY

CRY is best described as a tension between sounds. Based in Oakland, the husband and wife duo consists of self-taught musician, Brian McCarthy (Casy & Brian, Dalmatians) and classically-trained performer, Kati Sheldon.

Polarity shapes CRY and the sound that results is unyielding. Post-punk, darkwave notions serve as a backdrop to lyrics drawn from works like Dante’s Inferno and The Egyptian Book Of The Dead. Brian’s unchecked learn-as-you play musicianship that’s captured the attention of East Bay’s warehouse scene is balanced against Kati’s polished experience in opera and musical theatre. And, in writing music together, there is the intimate tension that exists between spouses.

The music on CRY’s debut self-release uses only vintage Roland and Electro Harmonix equipment. The compositions were intentionally over-simplified to serve as a control element for the dramatic vocals. Andrew Oswald — known for his work with Ash Borer, Religious Girls and Bon Iver — recorded the EP.

Dennis M Cooper

Whether its blues, country, big band, bebop, reggae, rock or easy listening, Dennis Cooper is there with the chops.
With a career spanning over thirty years performing with some of the finest musicians in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, California, and Texas, Cooper branched out with his first solo release, “A Boy and His Harmonica” in October, of 2001.
After its release, the album reached the number one spot on MP3.com’s “Top Selling Jazz CDs” list on four occasions and every song was in the top three of its genre chart.
He’s won many awards during his career, including a first place finish in the diatonic division of the Yellow Pine Harmonica Contest in 2001 and a B.E.A.M. (Benefiting Emerging Artists in Music) award from the Jim Beam Company.
From the Oregon Coast to the Gulf Coast of Texas, Dennis has entertained at festivals and fairs in his one-man harmonica show.
“It’s not what people expect to hear coming from a harmonica,” says Cooper. “I play a very melodic style and it thrills me when someone in the audience leaves a performance humming or whistling part of something I played.”
In 2002 and 2003 Cooper contracted with Jon Gindick, author of “Rock and Blues Harmonica” as a Co-Instructor at “Jon Gindick’s Harmonica Jam Camp for Blues and Country in Irvine, CA and Austin, TX.
Winter 2006 was a busy creative time for both Cooper and his wife and partner Sandra Cooper.
Together they wrote and published the first in a series of revolutionary new harmonica instructional materials.
The first project, “Harmonica Boot Camp” , was written from an absolute beginners point of view. Dennis taught Sandra how to play the harmonica and she authored a compact and concise book that covers all the bases without the musical jargon. “Harmonica Boot Camp” also includes a 75-minute instructional audio CD.
Two new albums were also recorded during live performances while in Arizona.
“Crossharp Country, LIVE” is a collection of country and bluegrass favorites recorded as they were performed.
“Live From Paradise and Otherwise” features songs that are easy on the ears and includes several new compositions by Dennis.
2009 1st place (tie) combined Grand National Division (diatonic & chromatic), Yellowpine Harmonica Contest
2008 3rd place combined Grand National Division (diatonic & chromatic), Yellowpine Harmonica Contest
2002 Jim Beam B.E.A.M. (Benefiting Emerging Artists in Music) award, one of 23 awarded nationwide.
2001 Yellow Pine Harmonica Contest-1st Place, Diatonic Division
2000 Yellow Pine Harmonica Contest-3rd Place, Diatonic Division
1999 Yellow Pine Harmonica Contest-2nd Place, Diatonic Division

“Dennis M. Cooper carries his music like a Doctor carries his PhD. It is a part of his name, a part of his soul…it is the blues. You can hear it with every note of this song. He has lived the pain and the melancholy, he has lived this song. Amazing Grace…without knowing anything about the man behind this Harmonica, I would venture a guess that he had once been lost. And, now he’s saved. There is a sweet tenderness, which mixes with just enough bitterness throughout this track.” Bottom line; this is the blues. I am giving a perfect score for lyrics because, with Mr. Cooper’s skill I can hear them.”
Clint Gage, Gods of Music, 2001
