Brooks Milgate is a world-class, Berklee-trained, prodigy pianist, highly acclaimed in Rock, Blues, and Roots/Americana. Just having released his own solo album "Roll with the Punches", he is talented beyond words. He can play any genre - so we call him genre-fluid.

Brooks has earned great success playing with many others, much like our other talent, and they all have one thing in common besides being top in their genres: they all want to be known for their own original music. In his new album, he has brought his audience the story of his journey to freedom and emancipation from everything that held him back. We can all identify with his stories in some way.

The song "So Long" on this album is one of our favorite Brooks tunes. It is such a biographical story that so many can relate to. Bring Brooks to your event and have him play his original works and covers of Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, and Ben Folds. The man can truly play anything, solo or with a 4-piece or 5-piece band. You will keep coming back to hire this artist. He is a real audience pleaser.

Over the years, Brooks has been a vital part of many bands, helping write and arrange music. Roll With The Punches is his first solo outing and features 11 songs - 9 originals and 2 covers. The songs are uniquely his own while acknowledging his influences, ranging from boogie-woogie to ’70s rock and roll, all while keeping the focus on catchy melodies and sing-along choruses. Accompanied by a who’s who listing of musicians from around New England, Roll With The Punches has something for everybody.
