Since the age of 10, Brooke Surgener has been teaching herself how to play as many instruments as she could get her hands on, so it makes sense that the local singer-songwriter has been a one-person music-making machine, pumping out everything from heartfelt original tunes like "Vagabond" to a stunning, stripped-down cover of the theme song from Kingdom Hearts, the beloved video game from Square Enix.

Surgener, a member of the Reader's 2014 40 under 40 class, will show off her DIY attitude and musical talents at the Erie Art Museum's Mid-day Art Break Wednesday, July 1, where you can see a rising star in the Erie music scene in action. – Alex Bieler
