Jon Brooks is a talented songwriter who chooses to write healing songs that inspire hope for the present world we live in.  He is quoted as saying “today’s songwriter should be a lobbyist for compassion to be our principle representative in government office.”

Brooks latest record “Delicate Cages” released in 2011 takes its title from the Robert Bly poem, “Taking the Hands.”  “Delicate Cages” aims to reveal the complicit natures of good and evil, love and fear, and freedom and imprisonment.  He states, “the Delicate Cages we live within are forms of enslavement – and not all ‘cages’ are necessarily bad.”  On his latest and most urgent and accessible collection of songs, Jon Brooks promises freedom to all who choose love over fear.
