Merging evocative folk, melodic pop and an edgier roots rock sensibility, singer/songwriter/guitarist Jonatha Brooke began releasing music in the early 1990s, first as a member of the duo The Story, and more enduringly, as a solo artist. After four major label releases, she started her own independent label, Bad Dog Records in 1999, and has since released 10 more albums—including the companion CD to her critically acclaimed, one-woman Off-Broadway musical, My Mother Has Four Noses.
