Stacy's musical career began at the age of five, in Zweibruken, Germany. Her mother sung in a Gospel Choir and decided to have Stacy open for them that evening. Her solos were "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and "Jesus Loves Me". After receiving her first standing ovation that night on an ArmyRecreationCenter stage, there was no turning back. She had been bitten by the music bug. She wrote her first song at the age of 6 (a Broadway type tune) performed in her parents living room on the coffee table for company. She performed at every musical opportunity anyone had to offer. Recognizing her energy as a child, her parents kept her enrolled in Tap and Jazz dance classes.
Fast forward to the present... she was nominated for a WAMMIE Award for Female Blues Vocalist 2009 - 2010 by the Washington Area Music Association in 2009 and 2010. With her diverse background she continues to give you toe tapping, head bobbing feel good music that crosses all barriers. After forming The Stacy Brooks Band in February 2007, she was nominated for "New Artist of the Year" by The Washington Area Music Association. Since she began her quest of the blues she has been working non-stop up and down the east coast bridging the age gap on the blues circuit and importing fans from other genres. She has shared the stage with blues greats like Kenny Neal, Bobby Parker, Memphis Gold, Randy Lippincott, Lonnie Shields, Willie "Big Eyes" & Smith The Nighthawks, just to name a few. Her arrangements keep the integrity of traditional Chicago & Delta blues while adding a spruce of rejuvenation. The musicians in her band have played with many other great artists worldwide and bring with them fans of their own. The music they make together with Stacy’s dynamic vocals, will have you wanting more and hooked on their groove.
