Brooks Maguire

Brooks Maguire



Brooks Maguire breathes new life into Americana music by summoning his Gulf Coast roots with that southern touch of gospel, rock, blues and country and possesses the versatility to perform a wide variety of music genres.  

Born/raised in Texas, Louisiana into a family heritage of singing gospel in church combined with 30 years of living/performing in Hawaii, Brooks weaves together their histories into his uplifting music that exudes his spirit of optimism, hope, and faith born out of a life of overcoming life’s most difficult circumstances and challenges!  

Brooks says, “It’s my utmost desire to touch the hearts and lives of my audience through well-crafted songs that offer a message of faith and encouragement to “press on” in the face of what life “throws” at you!”  Drawing inspiration to write/perform from listening to the music of Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, J.D. Souther, Eagles, Little Feat and a myriad of Texas singer/songwriters, Brooks began honing his craft early in his career in Austin TX.  

Traveling throughout Texas/Louisiana, his audience grew as he showcased his versatility and engaging style both as a solo performer and as a frontman of his band.  

Relocating to Maui in late ’87, Brooks rapidly became a featured performer on Maui's world renowned Front Street in the heart of historic Lahaina town. 

Now a mainstay Maui performer for nearly 30 years, Brooks also regularly tours the mainland US several times a year.
