About the Talent: Matt & Kristin Brooks
Matt & Kristin Brooks are a husband and wife duo from the Eastern Iowa corridor, and formed their first duo in Austin, Texas after making the move in 2001. Booking themselves as ‘Cosmic Texas Music’ they infused the spirit of Gram Parsons/Emmylou Harris with a Texas version of the alt-country of the time. Since returning in 2012, Matt is often in the pit for both Theatre Cedar Rapids and City Circle, while Kristin has been staying active behind-the-scenes in the local theater community. They have hosted evenings at the Opus Concert Café, been featured guests in several SPT Theatre shows, and even performed at Brucemore’s Cabaret in the Courtyard series. This show will be a balance of original material and covers reflecting their 20+ years performing together.

TCR and Brucemore Present Once
Live and Outdoors at Brucemore’s Peggy Boyle Whitworth Amphitheater.
Book by Enda Walsh, Music and Lyrics by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová. Based on the motion picture written and directed by John Carney.
From the very first note, Once draws you in and never lets go. This captivating musical is the only show to have music that won an Academy Award, a Grammy Award, an Olivier Award and a Tony Award.
On the streets of Dublin, an Irish musician and a Czech immigrant are drawn together by their shared love of music. Over the course of one fateful week, an unexpected friendship and collaboration quickly evolves into a powerful but complicated love story, underscored by emotionally charged music.
Featuring all of the magical songs from the critically acclaimed film, including the Oscar-winning “Falling Slowly,” this achingly beautiful, joyously uplifting show strikes an unforgettable chord in audiences and speaks to the power of music to connect us all. A show like that only comes around Once.
Performances:

Friday – Sunday, August 26 – 28 at 7:30 p.m.
Thursdays – Sundays, September 1 – 4 and 8 – 11 at 7:30 p.m.
