The duo has been named the grand-prize winner in both the Billboard Magazine World Songwriting Contest and the Telluride Blues & Brews Acoustic Competition\, while its albums have charted on Americana\, roots and folk radio. \nJon Brooks is a Canadian singer-songwriter of note. A winner in the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Competition\, a Canadian regional winner in the Mountain Stage Newsong Competition\, and a three-time Songwriter of the Year nominee in the Canadian Folk Music Awards\, Brooks writes songs “to calm those who’ve looked into\, and seen\, what is in their hearts [and] to terrify those who have not.” \nHis music is filled with grey and morally ambiguous characters living on the outskirts of approval\, but his mandate is unequivocal. Says Brooks: “I’m not interested in writing ‘happy songs’ – I’ve chosen to write healing songs and for that reason\, I’m obliged to reveal a wound or two now and then. That said\, I’m less interested in writing ‘unhappy songs’: I want to write hopeful songs\, inspiring songs and I expect I owe today’s listener some compelling argument as to why we should believe our present world can be improved\, or healed. A song’s highest aim is to invoke empathy – to offer that rare sight of ourselves in others. In this sense\, the songwriter is simply trying to ‘politicize love’\, hence my contention: today’s songwriter should be a lobbyist for compassion to be our principal representative in government office.”
