Influenced by the understated simplicity of the Carly Simon, James Taylor, and Carole King records he grew up with, James knew he wanted his debut to sound natural and unaffected. "The phrase 'stripped-down' is so overused, and 'bare-bones' doesn't really describe it," he says, "but I wanted the simplicity of the art to come through. I wanted it to have tasteful blend of folk and pop influences."
Selected
by iTunes Editorial Staff as one of the top new
singer/songwriters in 2008, Brendan James is backing up the hype with his debut
album The Day is Brave. Rising from his
humble beginnings of sneaking into New
York City
hotel ballrooms to find pianos to practice on, Brendan's music is set to be
released to the masses June 3rd. Featuring
unforgettable songs such as "Hero's Song" (off Eddie Vedder's Body of War soundtrack) and his radio single,
"Green."
