Concert in the Park-Calvin Brooks

One of five children, Calvin was born to parents William Brooks, an automotive worker, and Rose a homemaker.  His parents recognized his musical abilities early on and nurtured his talents allowing him to study at Grinnell School of Music in Detroit.  

Growing up in the 60's surrounded by the sounds and stars of Motown, Calvin spent endless hours playing his guitar to the ever present R & B, Jazz, Blues, and Gospel music. By age 14, Brooks was being paid to play at local events and developed quite a reputation within the music community of his hometown. 
 
Calvin's love of music and his undeniable talent garnered him a "gig" with Martha Reeves and The Vandellas of Motown fame.  For seventeen years, he toured the world and shared the stage with premiere entertainers.
