She will team-up with fellow "American Idol" alum Michael Johns for a co-headlining run beginning September 17 in Pomona, CA.

High Hopes & Heartbreak--released July 21 via June Baby Records, a new indie label formed by Brooke, Randy Jackson and Carl Stubner (head of Sanctuary Artist Management)�debuted as an iTunes pre-release at #47 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart, #7 on the Independent Albums chart and #6 on the Digital albums chart.

"I don't have any barriers," explains Brooke of the songwriting process on her first full-length since she was a Top 5 finalist on "American Idol" in 2008. "It's important I remain unguarded, open and vulnerable as an artist; it's the only way I know how to be."
