About The Owner - Ron Brooks

Ron started entertaining early in his life. In 1975, at the tender age of 11 Ron was selected to be in the Civic Light Opera's production of "Fiddler on The Roof" at Heinz Hall. At the same time he also started singing with the Greater Pittsburgh Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society and was appointed their musical director when he was a senior in high school. During his high school years he was always entertaining everyone and was featured numerous times on talent shows and concerts. He was chosen as the recipient of the National School Choral Award and represented his high school in district and regional choral festivals for fours years in a row. 

At the age of 19 he was selected as Barbershopper of the Year for the Greater Pittsburgh Chapter and inducted into the chapter Hall of Fame five years later. In the fall of 1990, Ron became the musical director of the Butler, PA Chapter. During in his tenure there, the Notables went from being a struggling chapter to a model chapter - winning four Johnny Appleseed District Small Chorus Championships. He was again chosen Barbershopper of the Year for the Butler chapter in 1992. Ron's been involved with a quite a few quartets too, including the Pittsburgh Music Revue, the Harmony Partners, Hourglass and award winning Wired For Sound quartet. He currently sings baritone with "InCahootz", an a cappella mixed quartet. (See "Entertainment").

Just out of high school Ron worked for a Balloon Delivery company in Pittsburgh and realized he had an incredible ability to write songs about people and started doing singing telegrams for the company. Since that time he has worked for several companies doing Singing Telegrams. Being somewhat embarrassed and disappointed in what he was being asked to do at times he decided to create his own company where he could control the quality of what was being presented, and be sure it was always in good taste.

Ron's involvement outside of his company includes coaching choruses and quartets within the Barbershop Harmony Society, Sweet Adelines International, and Harmony Incorporated. (Above Ron is seen singing with Joe Negri "Handyman Negri" from Mr. Rogers Neighborhood during a Christmas party at the Omni William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh). Ron's uncanny ability to write personalized original songs for singing telegrams has even lead to writing several original pieces which he has had copyrighted.

Ron, his wife Lynda and their seven-year-old son, David, live in Saxonburg, PA just north of Pittsburgh. Somehow, Ron manages to be a stay-home dad,  AND run Brooks Entertainment.

Ron's love and enthusiasm for music, and his desire to share his God given talent and what he has learned through his many years of experience shows every time he performs.
