“Working on a new album while play- ing a blur of gigs, it’s been a busy year for the Brooks Young Band — and also a well- rounded one. The Concord quintet appeared with everyone from Ted Nugent to Vice Presi- dent Joe Biden, the latter at a rally appearance toward the end of the 2012 campaign. Biden enjoyed the blues rockers enough to request a CD and arrange a meet and greet with President Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton also made an appearance. ”
