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. Since 2018, he’s toured the country as one-third of the legendary ’60s folk trio The Limeliters.

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 35 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.”
