Upon arriving in Nashville over 17 years ago, Waggoner has released five albums alongside Fontana / Universal Music Group and her independent label, Swoon Moon Music. You’ve heard her songs on TV shows such as Grey’s Anatomy, Pretty Little Liars, Ghost Whisperer, Army Wives, Birchbox & Microsoft ads to name a few. Or you may have seen her on the road playing keys with iconic musicians such as Jack White. Or heard her piano key work on Zach Bryan’s American Heartbreak album or Mitski’s intensely musical art rock albums, or Beck’s revolutionary Song Reader album. Her work as a session player & singer can also be heard on numerous albums including Sleeping At Last, Pokey Lafarge, Scott Mulvahill, and The Whistles & The Bells. 

A consummate songwriter, Waggoner has co-written cuts on albums with Hammock, Amy Stroup, Run River North, Humming House, and Al Lewis to name a few. 

Waggoner has orchestrated for many artists as well as TV including Dead Weather’s album Dodge and Burn, Mat Kearney, Communicating Vessels artist roster, and alongside Buddy Miller for NBC’s former TV show success, NASHVILLE. 

Along with being nominated for an Independent Music Award for "Best Folk/Singer-Songwriter Album,” Waggoner won the Nashville Music Award for "NBN Emerging Artist" of the year (2009).

In the classical realm, Waggoner has recently signed a deal with Overtone Studios and Epidemic for their artist and writer playlist series (2022). In the past, she has partnered with Chatterbird Chamber Orchestra to produce commissioned compositions for the group (2013 & 2014). She was also the recipient of Nashville’s “Score_Underscore” Film Scoring Commission event in conjunction with the Nashville Film Festival {Tennessee Arts Commission & Nashville Composer’s Association} (2010).

Waggoner is currently an artist-in-residence at Lipscomb University where she teaches Songwriting and Lyric Lab courses (2016-present). 

To call Brooke Waggoner a versatile musician would be an understatement: The 31-year-old is a classically trained pianist in singer-songwriter clothes. Waggoner’s voice exists in an ethereal place somewhere between orchestral folk, pared-down electro pop and the modern torch song. Her latest album, “Sweven” blends these disparate elements into a cohesive sound that enchants as it beguiles. — The Washington Post 2016

Recorded in Nashville [Originator], Waggoner’s third full-length is a bold step forward. The lovely collection of songs are still built solidly on Waggoner’s piano-based melodic sweetness and confident voice, but Waggoner adorns them with bold brass and a bevy of rhythmic trickery.

Waggoner embraces a surprising, unconventional, sophisticated style of pop that veers toward the symphonic.
