Pat Brooks
I was born on June 28, 1962 in Appleton, Wisconsin. I started rocking in the late ‘70s with stuff like Aerosmith, KISS, BTO, Angel and Queen.
When I got to high school my tastes turned toward pretenses of fusion like Pat Metheny and so forth. It was at this time that I started playing in bands Blind Prophet was the first one, which I formed with my brother, Dan. I’d eventually play in countless other bands, but two of note are BabyStrange and Silent Rage.
I’ve been in Heavy Nova since 1997. Ten years on, the chemistry continues to improve. Long live rock and roll!!!
