From their first performances in the velvety ambiance of the Dièse Onze to the big stages of prestigious festivals, from one side of the Atlantic to the other, The Brooks have built a reputation as an undeniable groove machine. At the heart of the project’s musical supergroup which formed in the early 2010s is the pure joy of playing, true artistic freedom, and equitable creativity. Electrifying on record as much as on stage, The Brooks’ sound is carried by bouncy rhythms, flamboyant brasses, inventive keys, and captivating guitar passages. Swimming between funk, soul, r’n’b, afrobeat, and jazz, The Brooks reunites four core members; the co-founder, leader, and bassist Alexandre Lapointe; the veteran singer and trombonist Alan Prater; guitarist and co-founder Philippe Look; and percussionist Philippe Beaudin; all four accomplished musicians with the careers to prove it. Today, the collective has birthed five studio albums, with their most recent Soon As I Can (2024) pushing their groove to new summits. The Brooks is much more than the sum of its parts: the group celebrates over 50 years of Afro-American music history and evolution, at once respective of its roots while remaining anchored in the present.
