About Your Hosts

Brooks Kaplan is a seasoned guitarist and vocalist with over 45 years of stage experience. After cutting his teeth in rock bands throughout the 1980s, affectionately earning the nickname “Uncle Brooks,” he went on to study jazz at the University of North Texas. His performances blend toe-tapping jazz standards inspired by legends like Miles Davis and Wes Montgomery with classic rock favorites from artists such as Tom Petty and Creedence Clearwater Revival. Delivered with a swinging groove and an easy sense of humor, Brooks’ shows are as engaging as they are musically rich.
