Brooks Maguire is a singer/songwriter whose time has come!  Maui based musician and Nashville recording artist, Brooks Maguire’s music exudes his spirit of optimism, hope and faith born out of a life of overcoming life’s most difficult circumstances and challenges!  Brooks says, “It’s my utmost desire to touch the hearts and lives of my audience through well crafted songs that offer a message of hope and encouragement to “press on” in the face of what life “throws” at you!”    Born/raised in Texas/Louisiana into a family heritage of gospel singing in church, Brooks’ style exhibits the amalgam of influences of blues, rock, soul, country, gospel and folk that the Gulf Coast has long been known for. Drawing inspiration to write/perform from listening to the music of Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, J.D. Souther, Eagles, Little Feat and a myriad of Texas singer/songwriters, Brooks began honing his craft early in his career in Austin TX.  Traveling throughout Texas/Louisiana, his audience grew as he showcased his versatility and engaging style both as a solo performer and as a frontman of his band.  Relocating to Maui in late ’87, Brooks rapidly became a featured performer on Maui's world renowned Front Street in the heart of historic Lahaina town and was soon performing throughout the Hawaiian islands.   Having independently released two CDs, "Dream Of A Girl" (1994) and "Pieces Of A Dream" (1999), Brooks signed a record deal with A.C.T Music Group - Nashville in 2013. His first Nashville recording, "The Road I Never Chose" debuted in 2014 and Brooks’ newest Nashville recording, "Comeback King", released in May 2016, were both co-written with Joe Beck and produced by Joe Beck/Jim Frazier.  Joe Beck, a veteran Nashville singer/songwriter/producer/record executive, has amassed over 65 hit songs, over 780 cuts by major artists in Adult Contemporary, Rock, Country, Inspirational, Southern Gospel and Black Gospel markets garnering both prestigious Grammy and Dove Awards during his 40 year career!   Brooks’ Nashville releases showcase collaborations with a roster of legendary and iconic songwriters and musicians including Pop icon/guitar virtuoso, Phil Keaggy, Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section member/former Bonnie Raitt guitarist - Will McFarlane, (recorded with Bobby Blue Bland, Little Milton, Etta James, Johnnie Taylor)  Brooks co-wrote with legendary multi-platinum songwriter, Bill Shore (wrote Garth Brooks' hit single, "Wild Horses", hits for George Strait, Charley Pride, Sawyer Brown, Porter Waggoner, Chris LeDoux, Vern Gosdin, Moe Bandy, Helen Cornelius, Stealing Angels) The incredible rhythm section consists of “A-list” Nashville session/touring musicians Duncan Mullins - bass, Steve Brewster - drums, (both played/toured with Amy Grant, Kenny Loggins, Paul Simon, Richard Marx, Kenny Rogers and hundreds of other legendary artists) Gordon Mote - piano (recorded with Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker, Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood, Gaither Vocal Band)  The amazing backup/harmony vocals of Drea Rhenee' (backup vocalist for Michael McDonald, Kathy Mattea), Wendy Moten (Kathy Mattea, Michael Bolton, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Al Jarreau) and Debi Selby (Don Henley, Reba McIntire, Michael McDonald, Michael W.
