Broken Poets' 2006 release Optimism in E Minor enjoyed a successful college radio campaign, with medium to heavy rotation at over 140 stations nationwide and peaking at #13 on the Most Stations Added chart.

Several years after building a large East Coast following via gigs at Big Apple hotspots like the Gaslight, The Bitter End and Arlene's Grocery - with early band members, well known sidemen Keith Lentin and Jonathan Mover (Fuel, Alice Cooper, Aretha Franklin) - Broken Poets currently enjoys a devoted following out West. They recently performed at the legendary Whisky-A-Go-Go, Molly Malone's and the Key Club, and have opened shows for Seven Mary Three, James McMurtry, Ian Moore and The Court & Spark.
