Aidan Brooks

Aidan Brooks picked up his first guitar in a spare bedroom in Columbus, Ohio, and taught himself just enough chords to get by before it turned into something real. His songs sit at the crossroads of modern Americana and acoustic country, plainspoken lyrics over a single guitar, built for a living room before they're ever built for a stage.

Off stage, Aidan is also a competitive cheerleader at Ohio State University. He's just getting started.

What started as covers mumbled behind a closed door has become a small catalog of original songs built the same way he was raised: patient, a little stubborn, and unwilling to fake anything for the sake of a good take. His songs sit at the crossroads of modern Americana and acoustic country, plainspoken lyrics over a single guitar, built for a living room before they're ever built for a stage.

Off stage, Aidan is also a competitive cheerleader at Ohio State University, a discipline that taught him just as much about performing under pressure as any open mic ever did. He's just getting started.
