New York's freshest singer/songwriter Brendan James has an awesome new debut album coming out this Summer! The Day Is Brave has definite pop influences but the songwriting, story telling and melodic crafts with his key skills is deeper emotionally, and more thoughtful. The songs leave me with a feeling of folk pop, and a twang away from the pop country sound. He's got some great tunes that you'd like to request on the radio but some of my favs have a heavy presence mixed with acoustic that'd easily get you up to one of his shows. Also I like the subjects of childhood and family instead of just a suffocating amount of romance. It's good stuff, y'all need to check it out. Check for The Day Is Brave debut album in your local music stores on June 3rd via Velour Recs. I got two tracks for you including Green, which is about a former g/f he met while working at Urban Outfitters! aww! d00d that's silly. haha

The Other Side
Green

Also check this tour and go catch him live! We'll wait patiently for a Westcoast tour hopefully in the later summer.
