Brookelyn's music along with an interview recently aired state-wide across Alaska on "AK Radio". To hear the interview, go to www.akradio.org and click on the Feb. 21 date in the archives.

In other news, Brookelyn has joined forces with another Alaskan band "Liberty Cabbage" and their music has been met with enormous success. The band's eclectic groove and fun lyrics span the globe and definitely get the booties shakin on the dance floor!


**Coming to you straight from Alaska, Brookelyn Bellinger's debut CD "Dance With Me" is sure to keep you warm on a chilly night. With infectious hooks and toe-tapping rhythm, Brookelyn's liquid vocals take the listener on one heck of a joy ride. This CD is a must-have for your independant music library.

Brookelyn has always had music in her heart and in her soul. She grew up listening to classic country, gospel, and pop/rock music. She played flute throughout most of her school years in the band, and sang solo at the little country church that her family attended, but while attending college, her voice landed her a job in a rock band. They called themselves "Dive" and Brookelyn was the lead singer and lyricist. They played locally around the town where she was going to college and aspired to expand their market, but like most bands, the drummer turned psycho, the guitar player liked to imitate the sound of cows "mooing" with reverb, and the bass player talked to much. The band broke up.

Brookelyn packed her bags and headed back to Alaska where she longed to be.
A mecca for creative energy, she was surrounded by musicians, artists, drifters, and dreamers, and soon missed the energy of the band. She decided to continue her songwriting and ordered a guitar sight-unseen over the phone from Ketchikan. When it arrived in the mail a couple days later, she began learning chords. Soon enough, she was debuting her songs at coffeehouses and bars throughout her travels in Alaska. Besides permorming regularly around her home town of Fairbanks and at the college- University of Alaska Fairbanks, this year she performed at the Alaska Folk Festival in Juneau, as well as the summer and winter Folk Festivals in Fairbanks. She also got the chance to open for Laura Love on the 4th of July.

With much encouragement, she decided it was time to head into the studio and began recording in January 2002. Her debut CD went to production 10 months later and was released in December 2002. Brookelyn is now reaping the rewards of all her hard work and loving the opportunity her music has given her.

Brookelyn recently joined another local Fairbanks band named "Liberty Cabbage". The music is a cosmic union of musical talents that span the globe and is proving to be a big hit around town. Maybe a Liberty Cabbage album to come? Maybe.

Preferring a simple life, Brookelyn lives in a small cabin without running water. She is surrounded by inspiration every day and simply strives to enjoy every minute of life. She enjoys fishing, hiking, camping, writing, skiing, laughing and playing with her dogs. She hopes to get some chickens this year and is making plans for another album.

    This is fun, this is folk, this is Brookelyn Bellinger. Catchy melodies meet a great voice and a perfectly good mood. You cannot feel down if you listen to this music, it will make you want to go out in the woods and enjoy the beauty of life. Try it!

  • Outstanding melodies, outstanding vocals, outstanding CD!!
    author: Holly Stewart

    I listen to this CD almost everyday..and it just gets better each time! Brookelyn really does a fantastic job with melodies! My favorite songs are That's How That Goes and Somethin' Better where her vocals really stand out and the lyrics and melodies stay with you all day. Buy this CD now and you can say that you knew her music even before she was famous!

  • This is a CD everyone can get something out of.
    author: Emily Barrett, KNOM Music Director

    This is a CD everyone can get something out of. I review several CD's on a daily basis, but this one stuck out so much due to its fun nature that I put some of the songs into rotation, and took a copy home to enjoy myself! Keep up the good work Brookelyn! If you haven't heard it...you must!

  • When will the second one be out?
    author: Suzanne Bowen

    For her first CD it's just excellent! I loved the back-up vocals, the variety of instruments and the different tempos of songs. One can't help but tap a toe along with the music. The students and teachers at Stanton Elementary are very proud of a former student! Will you give us a live performance when your in town?

  • This is a must have in your CD collection.
    author: Luke Wyckoff, fellow musician from BOULDER, COLORADO

    Brooke's new CD is outstanding. The songs are VERY well written and her voice (along with her internal emotion) are cascaded throughout the new CD with passion and excitment. This CD obviously took a lot of energy from Brooke and her team and I'm looking forward to her tour through the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. This CD is great - a must have.

  • Hot new CD from spunky newcomer Brookelyn Bellinger
    author: 10th Planet Studio

    These highly melodic songs rock with just the right production to keep her powerfully sweet vocals front and center.

  • Great!
    author: Marilyn Parr

    The songs are great!!!! I love the CD! I play it alot and will be ordering more. Brookelyn's voice is beautiful and the songs have such a good beat to them- they really uplift my spirit every time I listen to them.

  • Brookelyn Bellinger is a fresh new voice on the music scene
    author: Russ Kelly- The Russ Kelly Show, KUAC FM College

    The songs of life and love on the CD "Dance With Me" are bursting with clever lyrics and catchy melodies that will have you singing along in no time. Brookelyn's voice is familiar and utterly unique at the same time. Her music is reminiscent of the pop-folk stylings of Shawn Colvin. Take one listen to the track "It's Alright", with its infectious hook and toe-tapping rhythm, and you will agree that Brookelyn Bellinger is a singer/songwriter to be reckoned with.

  • Excellent, excellent, excellent!
    author: Michael R. Kalinoski

    I received the CD in the mail on Saturday, 12/7. On Sunday, I played it 3 times from start to finish. Today, I brough the CD to work with me so that I could listen to it here on my PC's CD drive. Every single song on the album is just great. I'm extremely impressed with the singing, songwriting, and CD. I think the singing and songwriting style will appeal to a very wide range of people. In addition, the photographs and art work on the Cd jacket really create an appealing and unique image. The CD is just excellent.

  • Really good CD! I love the folk/rock type beat. It's been a long while since I
    author: Gary Goodnow

    I am no music critic, but I know what I like and I really like this music. I've already played the CD three times- something I would normally do for a Stevie Nicks, Coors, etc. caliber of CD. I'm particularly impressed with the lyrics and the fact that Brookelyn wrote everything, which is reflected in the music.
