It was a fair and cool night on May 11th, 2024 as country music singer Brooke Moriber took the stage at the famous Bitter End in Manhattan. It was not the first time or will be last that she has graced the floor at the legendary venue. Brooke has been in the entertainment game for some time now. She began her journey initially as an actress in theatre on Broadway where Brooke landed the role of Young Cosette in Les Misérables at eight-years old, but music was tugging at her in many ways.

After a scary issue with her eyes that sidelined her for a while, she put in motion to share her experiences of how powerful the human spirit is via songwriting. It did not take long for her to begin landing gigs at local venues like the Bitter End, Rockwood Music Hall, and Mercury Lounge. Brooke was on a road to building up her talent when she performed at Jones Beach concert series and opening for the Gin Blossoms at the Wellmont Theater. She would top this off by belting out the national anthem at Madison Square Garden during the New York Knicks game.

"Opening for the Gin Blossoms was a thrill for me. I love performing on a huge stage and that was the first show since I had done a Broadway musical where I felt that high of seeing that many people in the audience. Sheryl Crow has always been such an inspiration to me as a woman in this industry and she's such an incredibly talented musician, so it was such an honor to be part of that event especially as we were honoring Willie Nelson for his charitable support for rescue horses."

A new opportunity came into play for Brooke when she was invited by an LA - based label executive to travel there for a possible venture. She would end up working with a few artists and writers that were in the pop genre. It was an exciting experience, but her heart was in country music. As fate would have it, she met a film producer who was the brother of Nashville record producer Fred Mollin in LA. Mollin had worked before with the legendary Linda Ronstadt who was also one of Brooke's music idols. After this introduction it led her to recording her first track in Music City thanks to Music Row publishers. Nashville became her second home for working on her music with New York being her first.

In 2019 she released her first full-length album, "Cry Like A Girl" which brought praise from Parade Magazine. This was when she began booking shows at Nashville hot spots like The Bluebird, the Listening Room and The Local. The success of "Cry Like A Girl" initiated her signing with Nashville's Reviver Records. In New York she was welcomed at famous venues like the Bitter End.

"Well, the interesting thing is that The Bluebird is known for singer songwriters performing in a "writers round" storytelling style, but New Yorkers never really get that experience so I decided to put together a show called "Nashville in New York" at The Bitter End where we bring the Nashville experience to New York City. The audiences are a little different for this reason but it's an equally thrilling experienced perform at either one."




Brooke has been inspired by many artists, notably Brandi Carlile, Jennifer Nettles, Ingrid Andress and of course Linda Ronstadt. But she is eclectic when it comes to music she enjoys as she was first influenced by Hip Hop, 90's R&B and even grudge. In addition, being that she got her start on Broadway a musical theater power ballad hits home as well. As we mentioned earlier, she recently performed at the Bitter End on May 11th which is a third installment of a new bi-monthly Songwriters in the Round series called "Nashville in New York (NINY)". She was joined by prolific songwriters Phil Barton, Victoria Banks and Randall Fowler. The series is presented by Music Choice and sponsored in part by Kicker Performance Audio, Suerte Tequila and Taylor Guitars.

She recently released a new single entitled "More Love" which can be found on all music platforms. Three of her past singles "Little Bit of You", "Half A Heart" and "Down to Nothing" were all on Spotify’s New Music Friday Country as well as Sirius XM's Velvet, CMT online, Music Choice Network and the Music Row Country Breakout radio chart. On the horizon Brooke is busy in the studio working on new tracks for Nashville Reviver records. Her newest single "This Town Made Us" is due out this coming September. The new single hits home for her since it embodies honoring hometown pride and a "never give up" attitude which derived from the 2020 tornado that ripped through Nashville and the pandemic that hit both her homes New York and Nashville. In June she will be heading back to Nashville to work on new music as we mentioned. Also, on July 20th she is looking to return to New York and continue her "Nashville in New York" series. Brooke has proven to be a determined artist who wants to keep climbing the Country Music ladder to the top one beat at a time.
