Book is my best friend in the entire world, my soul sister, and my number one creative colloborator until the day I die.
She has created and released an incredible album called ‘Dancer First’ that feels like the beginning of a Pop Revolution. She has managed to take arguably the most straightforward genre and breathe new life into it, crafting an album that feels both nostalgic and brand new.
I have been lucky enough to bring this album to the stage with her- playing synths, singing backup and being her dance partner. If you’ve seen the show in person or video, it is likely clear that we were born to be on stage entertaining. I don’t mean that narcissistically, but in a way that is self-actualized in tone.
We have been this way for the 14 years we have known eachother (!!?!!) In bedrooms, hotel rooms and backyards. Now we have lassoed our energy into a new form that feels so exciting and true, and put it on stage. This dream has always been there- sometimes hiding quietly, but now loud and clear.
There is nothing else I would rather do in this life and absolutely no one else I would rather do it with. You inspire us all. Book (not Brooke)…a visionary. a star. a Dancer.
“The eyes of Doctor T.J Eckleburg are blue and gigantic- their irises are one yard high. They look out of no face… pass over a non existent nose… But his eyes, dimmed a little by many paintless days, under sun and rain, brood on over the solemn dumping ground.”
