On today’s episode of Your Best You, we have a Starlight Spotlight with one of the performers from our upcoming Sound of Nashville Concert, Broadway to Country Star Brooke Moriber. Brooke and I dive into what it means to be apart of this concert, her collaborations with fellow Sound of Nashville performer Ian Flanigan, her duel roles being on Broadway and also trying to pursue a solo recording career, her love of rescue animals (including her late rabbit, Sherlock), her struggles with physical/mental health, and so much more!
Known for her “clarion voice” (Associated Press), Brooke Moriber’s powerhouse vocals and emotional songwriting have connected with audiences from New York City to Nashville – the two towns she calls home.
Growing up in Greenwich Village, Brooke was raised on the sounds of guitar strumming and voices rising through her bedroom window from Washington Square Park and the nightclubs below. She was drawn to music at an early age and at 8 years old booked her first audition, landing the role of Young Cosette in Les Miserables on Broadway. That was the first of many successes on stage and screen.
“Both of my hometowns were (and still are) so strong and determined to recover. Nashville strong, New York tough — ‘Straight up from the dust, steady risers’. We are the definition of resilient. You tear us down, we build it back better and stronger. I wrote this song for my two hometowns and anyone from anywhere who feels proud of where they come from and shaped by their roots.”
