Your City, Your State/Province/Municipal Division – Date of Press Release – Progressive folk artist, Brook, will perform at your event name. On your event date, he will be performing the events venue.
Brook will appear solo/with group fill in detail at on fill in your exact date(s) and times. If appearing local musicians, you might put that here for interest
Depending up the show, you might want some or all of the following paragraphs? Or, you may want to put other information in place of  some of these. For instance, for a pagan show, you might want to talk about Brook’s paganism and/ or local paganism or pagan groups. Or, for a benefit or a  more political event, that copy might go here. Feel free to use material from Brook’s bio, press kit, or web site.
In his acoustic shows, Brook has been working with unique new percussive and open string acoustic guitar arrangements along with more conventional techniques like his signature slide guitar work.
Brook is currently performing material from his first solo release, “The Great Blues Sea”, recently released by Melusine Records in Berkeley, California. The album uses the blues as a spring board for explorations of American musical genres with themes of environmental awareness, progressive political action, loves found and lost, and personal transformation. In addition, he frequently adds new songs and interpretations.
“There’s nothing like Brook in the pagan music world. I’m very excited about his new album.” Anne Hill, CEO of Serpentine Music. Wendy Wizardwoman, of www.wgds.net, Goddess Radio says about “The Great Blues Sea”, "Your music is so unique. We listen to *a lot* of music as you may guess, and your CD is so refreshing. It's made it from the play on the station only stack of Cd's to the personal stack!”  The CD is available at CDbaby.com.

With “The Great Blues Sea”, Brook explores his musical roots through a series of 13 musically related but highly diverse selections. Accompanying Brook’s vocals and guitar playing, a list of fine San Francisco Bay Area musicians make appearances. Among these are Bruce Unsworth, Ellen Hoffman, and djembe master Jeffrey Alphonsus Mooney.

The following paragraph is the bio information. Generally, you would leave this in towards the end of the press release as background information.
Noted for his deep blues feeling, Brook was nicknamed by saxophonist Richie Cole, “The Bluesman”. Brook has worked with Bo Diddley and his BoKay Production Company, Chuck Berry, and appeared with Bruce Langhorn, Laurie Lewis, and Michaelle Goerlitz, among others. Brook’s folk and local rock work includes Linda Hershorn, Mokai, Anne Hill, T. Thorn Coyle, Pat Wynne, The Welfare Cheats, and The Freedom Song Network. He has also accompanied many jazz performers like singer Opie Bellas for 3 years. In addition, he has worked and recorded with many local groups, including blues, rock, folk, American roots, fusion, big band, and progressive jazz.
