Kevin Brooks was a wonderful singer and musician who I knew well and miss.

For a dozen years Kevin Brooks brought together some of the region's best players for a spectacular night of Irish music, to which Kevin contributed with his beautiful voice. We've dedicated this night to Kevin and will make it a new Montauk Club annual tradition.

I’ll be playing with friends of Kevin: Jim O’Dea, Ken Borgeson, Tom Dunne, and many others.
