Justin Philip Brooks performing live at KETR.

With a voice reminiscent of local Texas favorite John David Kent, Justin Philip Brooks comes out of the gate on his first record with great sounds ranging from country to rock and Americana.

Brooks found his ideal band mates right in his own family: his wife Tiffany and brother-in-law Morgan accompany the talented newcomer on his debut, self-titled EP. Notably Texan learned more about the artist during a recent visit to the KETR studios.

More about Justin Philip Brooks is available on his website.

Listen to Notably Texan weekdays from 11am to 2pm on KETR.

Born in Dallas, Texas, Matt moved to the Sulphur Springs area in 1990 and settled in Commerce shortly thereafter. Having dreamed of working in radio since childhood, he began working at KETR while taking Radio-Television courses at Texas A&M University-Commerce in 1993. Matt has transitioned from a part-time worker and pupil of KETR, to the station’s Chief Announcer/Producer and supervisor of student broadcasters. A familiar voice of 88-9 KETR, Matt has hosted such shows as The Late Nite Lion, and can currently be heard as host of Notably Texan.
