DESCRIPTION:Stacy was dubbed DC’s Queen of the Blues by her musical peers in Washington DC when she decided to dive deep into the Blues.  Stacy works very hard to keep that opinion alive & well. Washington DC is not known as a Blues Town but ask anyone in Chicago, Memphis, Atlanta and Europe when coming to DC, you must see Stacy Brooks. The Stacy Brooks Band won the DC Blues Battle of the Bands and competed in the 30th Annual International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tn January 2014.\n9 July 2011, The Stacy Brooks Band competed and won The Battle of The Bands at The Sedalia Blues Festival in Big Island Virginia.

She along with musicians from Chicago performed as Stacy Brooks & The 11th Hour Band. They are planning to return soon as they now have a new following in India and Sri Lanka.\nPortraying her idols Etta James & Koko Taylor from 2013-2016, in the touring hit Broadway Musical, “Ghost of The Blues” has been one of the highlights in Stacy’s career. The last date was at the Orpheum in Memphis, Tn. in 2016. Ghost of the Blues had a nice 3 year run.\nNow back to the beginning. Stacy started singing at the age of 5 in Zweibruken Germany at an Army show and after her first standing ovation there was no looking back. Fast forward to the present, with her diverse background she continues to give you toe tapping, head bobbing feel good music that crosses all barriers.
