Welcome to a place that belongs smack dab in the middle of Nashville and Laurel Canyon. The sun shines, the pedal steel wails, and harmonies flutter like hearts at the recollection of first love. Arizona-born and Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Brooke White extends a warm invite to this place on her forthcoming 2019 full-length album, Calico—short for “California Country.”
The quirky raspy-voiced blonde, moved west from her native desert home in 2003 in hopes of becoming a singer-songwriter. She spent a handful of years spent chasing the dream, writing songs, cutting hair in her bathroom and nannying twins. She finally landed her big break when she was granted a golden ticket on American Idol's seventh season to perform on the nation’s biggest stage, where millions of viewers formed an emotional bond and welcomed her barefoot-at-the-piano style into their homes on a weekly basis.
