Mike Brookfield Announces New Album
I first saw Mike Brookfield perform a live set at Boom Boom Club in Sutton and the crowd were very impressed with his guitar skills. This year he has decided to go down the instrumental route on his new record…
Dublin based blues-rocker Mike Brookfield is set to release a new album titled Hey Kiddo! on Friday 9th July 2021. The album is now available for pre-order and includes 12 instrumental tracks featuring ’90s surf-rock sounds, and for some, will conjure images of a Quentin Tarantino film.
“I’ve wanted to make this album for years,” says Brookfield. “An instrumental record that rocks in a fun way but also has lots of twists & turns that keep the listener engaged… I wrote these tracks to perform alongside my more emotionally driven blues-rock material… written to what I call the ‘Buddy Holly ethic’ in that they should be short, catchy & played with youthful energy… which I think creates a really nice contrast to the bluesy slow burn on the tracks I still love to play from the ‘Love breaks The Fall’ & ‘Brookfield’ albums… putting this music out is really important to me as I want my musical output to reflect my personality & varied interests as a writer & performer… it’s gonna be a fun show for the band & the audience, not forgetting a real challenge to play!”
