Hey Brooke!
I was just looking at the live footage clips on your site.... you sound amazing and keep improving every year! Keep up the great work!!!

All the best - Rob Blaney http://www.robblaney.com

Dear Brooke,
How are you? I hope fine! :) My name is Roberta and I am an Italian fan of yours . I discovered you surfing the site of CDBaby.com some time ago. I really like your music! I write you to give you my compliments for your work and also because I have a big passion for photography and I would be very happy to receive a signed picture of you as a memory. I hope to hear from you one of these days.
Thank you for your time and for all. :)

Love, Roberta

Brooke,
I loved seeing you last night.... First, the singing was awsome, I told Chris and I will tell you too, that last night was a great way to start a weekend! Watching two beautiful women sing back to back - wow! I hope you have a great rest of the weekend and I look forward seeing you again!

I was browsing through CDBaby and ran across you CD. Just thought I'd drop you a note and say that you sound great. I manage an artist who is also on CD baby. Anyway, good luck to you!

Dan Fitzgerald

Hi Brooke
My name is Matthew and I am just writing to let you know that I have been a big fan of yours for a while now. I am one of those Disneyland passport holder nerds (the last time I saw you. I was the guy standing on the side wearing the Iron Maiden shirt. Yes, Maiden fans can also be Brooke fans!) and always do my best to come out to see the Antix when possible. The Antix are great but are made special by your always dynamic performance. You are truly beautiful and talented. You definitely have that "extra-something". Now that I finally found out about Diva Trip etc. I will try to come by and see you more. (I live three miles away from D-Land. Hey, I said I was a nerd) My best wishes to you on all your artistic endeavors.

Your Friend, Matthew

Brooke,
Thank You for two great shows at Lake Arrowhead Village "Center Stage". The quality and professionalism you and the musicians presented to the audience was exceptional. It was also a blast to perform with your band. I had a great time.

Stewart Undem - Entertainment Director
Lake Arrowhead Village

Hi Brooke, I had a blast with you and the whole bunch. You have a great show and you front it brilliantly. I appreciate the room you give each musician/dancer to express personality all within a controlled performance. It is difficult to do and takes a lot of confidence and trust from the front person. Fortunately you have more than enough talent, charisma and charm to pull it off. Thanks for having me.

Take care,
Jimmy Keegan

Dear Brooke,
Thank you so very much for writing me. It's not often that you get artists who contact you for buying their work. I appreciate the nod and thank you for a truly wonderful time at Disneyland. By the way your CD is pretty good too!!! Actually it's great! I listen to it in my car all the time. Thanks again Brooke and I hope to see you soon at future shows. You can absolutely add me to your mailing list as well.

Regards, George Durham

I can't come to your award ceremony, but wanted to say congratulations on the nomination and you should win the whole thing! I've told you often before what an amazing performer & singer you are - just the best.

I'll always be your fan and friend,
Lisa Gary

Hi Brooke
Went to the website to buy the cd, after I saw you at Disneyland and absolutely loved you!!!

George Durham

I thought the band sounded great this weekend - I actually found  myself enjoying watching each set. That is rare for me. And the dancers really stepped up.

Matt Tavlarides

Hey Brooke,
I absolutely miss Brooke and the Boys but let me just say that Diva Trip is just as wonderful! I absolutely love it all! The costumes are adorable and totally hot. I can't wait for your next visit to Disneyland because I'll be there for sure! =)

Loved it ALL this weekend! Lani Hashimoto

I'm a fellow singer songwriter and friend of Chris Cargill's... I came to Level One last Thursday with a group of friends and we had a blast! Just wanted to let you know we all thought you pretty much kicked ass ;)

Rock on! - Matt http://www.matthewjordan.com

Re: Disneyland Buzz Stage Daytime Show
You are too fabulous for words! Seriously, you're the most talented girl I know.  We both commented if we didn't know you, we'd think you were 20 onstage. And you sounded recording quality perfect. Anyway, we loved you!

Love ya....Lisa Gary

Re: Disneyland Buzz Stage Daytime Show
Thanks Brooke! it was great seeing you on stage again (I didn't want to bother you so I enjoyed it from a distance)-You really have an awesome stage presence!

Herman Beeftink

Hey there you!!!! 
I just wanted to let you (and the band) know that I have had nothing but the BEST time working with you at Disney the past few months with this day band gig. I've had soooooooo much fun with you and the band both onstage and offstage. It's a blessing to work with such gifted and fun people like you all.

Jeff your favorite SM at Disney (even more than Matt Tav!!!)   ;-)

Re: DisneyLand Buzz Stage Daytime Shows
What a great last day of “Brooke and the Boys”. I will truly miss your shows. They were so fun! I can't wait for Diva Trip to roll on in though, a chapter ends and a new one begins! I'm VERY excited! I shall see you Friday I'm sure.

Till then, Lani

Re: LA Music Awards Showcase
Baby doll, you totally rock! It was so awesome to see you perform last night
with such great energy and emotion! Soar with you dreams, love!

I totally love and support you! Love, Rachel Vega

Re: LA Music Awards Showcase
Brooke Wilkes is so hot that I had to make sure to wear protective gloves when I touched her skin lest the heat melted my hands and left me a bony mess! Seriously, though, you ROCKED last night. Wow. I was so happy watching you do your thing. When you wish upon a star.....

Chris Opperman

Hey Brooke!
This is Lani, your asian "Harajuku " girl from Disneyland! Wow, seeing you over and over again NEVER gets old nor dull. You're amazing!!!! You and the boys were wonderful, a real joy, a ton of fun. I had such an amazing time the first time and made friends of mine leave early the following day so they would be able to see you. They had a great time as well and we're stoked to see you again. I'm sure it'll be soon because I miss you and the boys ALREADY!!!!

Congratulations on being a potential nominee (LA Music Award)! How exciting!!!! I'm really looking forward to the show. I'll be there!!!! I thought I would just contact you first and let you know. Is there any particular information I'll need to know about this show? Feel free to contact me at anytime. I look forward to it.

Your crazy fan, Lani

Thanks for all of your fantastic performance & great attitude!

Tony

Man - I really wish we could go. But, to be perfectly honest Brooke - there could be one person in the audience and you would still impress the **** out of them. You just have that "thing" all performers aspire to. But don't you worry, at 9:30pm on Thursday I will send all the love and friendship in the world your direction, so hopefully you'll feel it. ;) Please let us know what happens.

Your Fans, Laura and Griff

Hi Brooke,
I want to thank you for the great job and the great music.

Brooke
I just wanted to say you did a great job at the House of Blues event (and you look really good on TV)!  Thanks again for being such an uncommonly good performer- we were lucky to have you.

Don French/Spirit Prod.

Well my darling....I will be very sad not to be in the house cheering you on....but I will be thinking of you and knowing you are kicking some serious a** up there. However, I will buy YOU a drink to celebrate you as soon as you say the word. You. Are. Fabulous. And you will shine like the star you are.

Love, Michelle Duffy

Wow! You were kickin butt at the Park (Disneyland) last Sunday. Griff and I were there with his parents and thought we would show you off a bit. You really looked so spunky and we wish we could have stuck around longer. You're obviously a true professional. Seriously Brooke - you really are an inspiration. OK - enough gushing. By the way, the opera piece was phenominal. 

Keep in touch.  XOXO - Laura

Thanks Brooke!   The wedding was absoultely amazing and it was way more than I could ever dream it to be! Everyone thought the band was wonderful and absolutely loved your voice. 

Phillip Weld & Ava Turner-Weld

re: La Bella Diva clip
Wow - your voice sounds AMAZING. YOU REALLY got game woman. Like, that blew me away!

Congrats...Matthew Lillard

re: La Bella Diva clip
WOW!  I had no idea you sang opera type music too! Really, you sound just beautiful Brooke!

Thanks for sharing... Colleen Custer/Class Acts

re: La Bella Diva clip
Oh My God Brooke! That is BEAUTIFUL! So pure, so controlled. I loved it.

Loren Smith - Loren Smith Prod.

re: La Bella Diva clip
Again, you astound me. It's gorgeous! I had no idea... Thank you so much for sharing that. Why aren't you famous other than in MY BOOK?

Candy Strock, agent www.happybooker.com

What about Brooke's band 'Brooke and the Boys?' Do they do any shows outside of Disneyland? The other bands are good, but that one in particular is amazing. Don, Tony, Steve and Eric all seem to complement Brooke's energy and talent. Also, all of those boys are very talented and extremely entertaining. I would love to see some more info on them.

Ashley Varnes

re: La Bella Diva clip
Wow Brooke, that’s one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard! I almost started crying!!! Beautiful!

Andrew

People like to hear songs performed in a way that reflects the performer they hear on the radio. Brooke is very accomplished at being able to impersonate a wide variety of famous singers. I have nothing but successful bookings with her. Amongst the hundreds of bands we represent, I never forget hers.

Kathy Herbruck, agent

WOW! She's gorgeous! I would love to see her perform; what a great format and all those song!. I am impressed, what a professional website.

Dan Roseta

Brooke always give a great show. Seeing her live is just a lot of fun and I have recommended her band to my closest friends.

Mike Glendinning, Videographer - Surf City Multimedia

Brooke is one of the best performers that I have ever had the privilege of working with. Her bands combined vocal talent is a perfect match and the seamless way they each take center stage is superb. Their ability to deal with anything that may come up at the last minute (including technical issues) is flawless. A true privilege to be working with such a highly professional woman and extremely talented group of people.

Louis Vrabel - Disney Stage Technician

Brooke
Thanks so much for your consistent professionalism and your ability to resolve unusual logistical surprises! I am very glad you were there this weekend to make it all work out. Thanks also for keeping up a great attitude in the face of adversity!! We'll be seeing you again real soon.

Tony LaBianca - Disney talent booking

Although the main group can be a 6 piece ensemble, they added up to 10 pieces for us to design a more theatrical production show for some of our corporate events. As far as customer service, Brooke doesn't skip a beat. This is what really sets her apart from other band managers. She is always accessible and quick to respond to calls and requests. I think she would be an asset to anyone planning entertainment for a wedding or special event.

Susan Collier - Agent

Thank you for a job well done. Our client said that her company really enjoyed all that you did and that "the band really got the crowd jumpin'!" Thank you again.

Diane/HOT PEPPERS

Brooke
You are such a pleasure to work with. As I mentioned, I only want to work with entertainers that we know and can trust. You have the same business morals that we do, and we value that in a relationship.We look forward to working with you more.... Happy New Year! Thanks again,

Karen Tambellini - Agent

Hey Brooke,
It was wonderful working with you again, especially at Il Circo. I hope to do many more with you. You were terrific!

Sam Trego - Imagination Entertainment

I watched your Diva video last night. Very professionally put together, AS ALWAYS.....you do a great job. You looked great and sounded great.......showed lots of variety and variations.

I know I can get your Diva group some great work. Oh yea, you BROOKE WILKES & THE DIVA TRIP is a great name. You sing everything. It's definitely your show. Be proud! Talk to you soon..

Colleen Custer/ Class Acts

Thank you very much for playing at our wedding. You were terrific! Everyone complimented how great the band was. We had 100 guests at our wedding, and your band was more than adequate. The keyboardist that you played during the ceremony ended up being the same one that my mom had for her wedding. He plays very well. Please let him know that we enjoyed and appreciated his playing. People were out on the dance floor the entire night. Brooke, you have a terrific voice. Thanks for learning our first dance song, you did an excellent job. We are looking forward to hearing you play at a club nearby. We will be sure to recommend you to anybody who asks.

Laura & Louis Gaghan

Brooke's musicians are very willing and capable to customize their performance to each client's wishes. The band is just so personable and they love to have a good time; Brooke is also great emcee. She is ready and prepared to get everyone in the "party mood."

Robin Kelly, Talent Rep.- Essence Ent.

Brooke
Just wanted to say thanks for a fun weekend! You and the band sounded great. Everyone loved the dancers as well - it just brings more to the show.

Hope to see you all back soon! Matt Tav

Brooke
As always, the band was fantastic! All the guests had a wonderful time dancing. Brooke was the best ever!

Thanks again, Scott T. Jones 3D Event Solutions

Brooke
You are the one who deserves our thanks for your classy, audience rousing performance and the generosity of your time on Jan 29th. The audience member you selected to dance with turned out to be the former Fine Arts Division dean at CSUF, who obviously loved every minute of the attention.

I look forward to seeing you on March 12 for the theatre festival alumni reception.

Best wishes Bob Jensen

Brooke
Incredible night. Brooke is by far the best performer I've seen on stage. Her movement, facial expression, and overall presence is very captivating. She interacted with the Guests at a level unmatched by any other vocalist. For example, she incorporated their names into the lyrics of the songs, let them sing into the microphone, danced with them, posed for pictures, and shook their hands. On top of that, her vocals were outstanding. I didn't have to tape any lyric sheets to the monitors! Imagine that. Song selection was ideal with seamless transitions, and the dance floor was full. Great personalities and very easy to work with. Impressive evening.

Laura McGee/Disney Stage Manager

Brooke
Thanks for providing the upcoming 3/12 reception music. Gary teared up at our department meeting describing what you said from the Plummer stage about him. You touched him profoundly by what you said and by what a star you were on stage.

Love Bob Jensen/ Fullerton College Theatre Arts

Brooke
I know I have shared with you on various occassions just how gifted I think you are not only as a vocalist, but maybe even more importantly as a 'performer'. But honestly, it has never been quite so apparent as it is in this example. Not only are your vocals just really very, very good but the performance factor- how you portray the lyric and the feel of the song and convey it to someone watching/listening- is just huge.

There are so many different affects/looks from classy, serious, cute,sensual and of course 'sexy'. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that yet another person has again been very impressed at your talent and your commitment to a job well done. Thanks for sharing-

Don French/ Spirit Productions

Brooke
Thx so much for being part of our wedding. It’s not often that I meet people from my Alaskan hometown.

Barbara Lee Talley

Brooke
It was so fun to be able to watch and listen to the video clip from your show in Fullerton on the 29th. Of course, I couldn't attend, so thank you. You're so dang talented! ---And gorgeous, and clever, and funny... and the list goes on.

Candy Strock, agent www.happybooker.com

Brooke
I took my daughters to see your show at Club Buzz this past Saturday Night (my wife was home sick in bed). You sounded great. Congratulations. Did you realize that you picked up my oldest daugher (Marlee) during your "Rolling on the River" audience participation bit. She enjoyed singing with you. Thanks. And who knew Bert Sijen of International Touch could sing? What a rock star.

Again, congrats on the show. We'll try to come by and see you again. We're there just about every weekend. Take care.

Roger N. Behle, Jr., Esq.

Your career seems to be kicking butt. I was so proud of you at Disneyland. You really rocked, and the best part was the solo stuff. Max danced to it. We have it on video. The Beyonce stuff was your best cover, I thought!

Love you, Melissa

I just looked at your web site and noted all the dates & times of your up-coming performances at Disneyland. How exciting that you'll be there quite a bit in the next few months!! :o) hey, if Disney is gonna have regular bands playing during the day, then I'm glad it's gonna be YOU!! :o)

I just wanted to thank you for being so willing to keep in touch and being so warm/cordial to me when I see you. You certainly have a genuine caringness and sweetness about you that I have always found refreshing. Take care and have a great weekend, see you soon!! :o)

Lots of Love~ Patrick Keller

Brooke
I had so much fun with you and the whole experience was amazing!! Thank you so much for the opportunity!! My Boyfriend Christian, thinks that your talent is astounding, he said, how does she sing and dance so well at the same time with sooo much energy, I said it's her gift!!

Take care and hopefully see ya soon when your’e working!! Safiya Ricketts

Hey Brooke,
It was wonderful working with you again.  I hope to do many more with you.  You were terrific!

Sam Trego

Brooke

Lots of love, Laura and Griff

Brooke
I just love watching you perform on stage, it's always very entertaining! As for your new show you did...AWESOME!!! I'm really prayin' that Disney allows you to showcase your new show all throughout Disneyland's 50th!

I was there that night with my best friend, and at first, we were only going to see your first set at 7, because we had a prior commitment for something later. But after we saw how terrific the show was, we both looked at each other and said, *we're stayin' for the whole thing!! :o)

You certainly know how to *WOW* an audience! And what was so neat about your show was that it was different, as well as VERY entertaining And you pulled in a good crowd. Keep me posted- you know I'll spread the good word and be there to support you! Take care and I look forward to seeing you perform again...soon!

Hugs & Kisses~ Patrick Keller :o)

Brooke

You are such a pleasure to work with.  As I mentioned, I only want to work with entertainers that we know & can trust.  You have the same business morals that we do, and we value that in a relationship. We look forward to working with you more.... Happy New Year!
