Brooke White - Calico
LCM Song Of The Day: ‘Calico’ - Brooke White
Our featured track today is the beautiful ‘Calico’ by LA-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Brooke White. It’s the stomping groove and sunny storytelling title track from Brooke’s new album released in October last year, ‘Calico’ is short for “California Country’ and we love the West Coast Laurel Canyon and Nashville crossover sound,
“It’s about how we make plans, and those plans change, but it works out—sometimes even for the better,” Brokke comments. “That’s happened so many times in my life: from ending up on American Idol to having to wait for babies to making the record how and where I did. L.A. is the place where dreamers, creators, and artists come, because anything can happen here. That’s why I’m here. ‘Calico’ is about letting go of what you thought it would be and embracing what it is and where you are and who you are... making the most of it and loving it.” In the end, Calico is a place you won’t want to leave anytime soon...
Brooke moved west from her native desert home in 2003 in hopes of becoming a singer-songwriter. She spent a handful of years chasing the dream, writing songs, cutting hair in her bathroom and nannying twins. She finally landed her big break when she was granted a golden ticket on American Idol's seventh season to perform on the nation’s biggest stage, where millions of viewers formed an emotional bond and welcomed her barefoot-at-the-piano style into their homes on a weekly basis.
