Jaime Brockett

Jaime Brockett is a New England-based folk singer. He enjoyed cult status in the 1969-early 1970s era. On his debut album, Remember the Wind and the Rain, he plays guitar, banjo, and dulcimer.[1] Brockett was a favorite of devotees of late night progressive rock FM radio stations, particularly with his thirteen-minute-long adaptation of Lead Belly’s (via Blind Lemon Jefferson) "The Titanic", rechristened The Legend of the U.S.S. Titanic, co-written with Chris Smither.

Brockett has released several albums over his career, including North Mountain Velvet, which has a guest appearance by Ramblin' Jack Elliott.

Brockett has lived in Wyoming and Ohio, among other places. While in Ohio, he supplemented his performance and recording income by teaching guitar. Also while in Ohio, he opened at a local club for legendary folk musician Tom Paxton. Members of the audience included Arlo Guthrie (who was to do a benefit for Friends of the Homeless the next day) and then-governor Dick Celeste.

A long-time friend of fellow musician Maria Muldaur, Brockett has also helped manage her career.
