Jon’s music is filled with grey and morally ambiguous characters living on the outskirts of approval, his mandate is unequivocal: “I’m not interested in ‘happy songs’ – I’ve chosen to write healing songs and, for that reason, I’m obliged to reveal a wound or two now and then. I’m even less interested in writing unhappy songs: I want to write hopeful songs, inspiring songs and I expect I owe today’s listener some hopeful argument – some legitimate reason – as to why we should believe our present world could be improved, or healed.=0D=0A=

MOTH NOR RUST his third CD earned Jon his second Canadian Folk Music Award nomination for Songwriter of the Year and its lyrics were published by Canada’s esteemed literary quarterly, Exile Editions.=0D=0A=

Whether about the times we live in, its past or its future promise, Brooks’ songs are underscored throughout by his gently weather-beaten voice, the singular beautiful sound of hand on guitar, and his uncanny ability to press his ear against the heartbeat and the soul of the times we live in – transforming, inspiring and uplifting us as we bear witness.=0D=0A=

His new album in the opinion of our Artistic Director is, "The most profound album I've heard from a Canadian songwriter this year." Jon was recently nominated for Songwriter of the year for the third time in past five years!=0D=0A=

The Chapel located within the main building at Providence Farm, Duncan, BC has been hailed as one of the best Acoustic Venues in BC. The sound is amazing.
