Passim Presents Jonatha Brooke at Arrow Street Arts

Jonatha Brooke is what happens when literate songwriting meets fearless innovation, a singular voice in modern music whose work is as much chamber poetry as it is folk-pop. Trained in the rigor of classical composition yet born with a Broadway-bound belt and a novelist’s eye for character, she weaves deeply personal narratives with a rare melodic sophistication. From her early days with The Story to her solo triumphs, Brooke has quietly carved a niche where the emotional intelligence of Joni Mitchell meets the musical wit of Stephen Sondheim, all wrapped in a voice that aches, sparkles, and soars, often within the same phrase.

Whether commanding a stage with nothing but a guitar and a spotlight or orchestrating a lush studio album, Jonatha Brooke is never simply performing; she is sculpting emotion in midair, conjuring stories that linger like the final notes of a well-loved sonata.

Come see her “can’t miss” performance at Arrow Street Arts on February 25!
