"Missing 3" happened by accident - the band "Moving Colors", a 6-piece band was asked to play a venue and there was only enough room to put 3 members on stage, so there it began - "Missing 3" was born!  

We are a casual/crowd engaging band that plays a wide variety of music - classic to current rock like John Mayer, Stevie Ray, Beatles, Ben Harper, Tears for fears to The Black Keys.  

OUR TEAM

BILL BROOKS - LEAD VOCAL & GUITAR

Bill Brooks was born in Denton Texas and picked up the guitar at age 14 but never really had any interest in playing it until the age of 21. Bill had three sisters who played drums, keyboards and bass and it was this band that he first started his career. They called themselves the "Brooks" and performed for many years until Bill felt the need to change directions and left to join up with 2 local musicians who were singers/songwriters who played bass and guitar. Bill left the Brooks and with Robin & Chris Creasman formed the band "Backstreet". Backstreet was very successful in Dallas with 2 hit singles and on the show Star Search. In 1988 Bill left that band d formed the band "Moving Colors" and is still currently playing and performing in the D/FW area.

Bill's favorite bands and artists are Matt Wertz, John Mayer, U2, Dave Barnes, Journey, the late great Stevie Ray. In his spare time he loves to go camping, bicycling around White Rock Lake with his beautiful wife and take his dogs to the park.
