The Multi-Talented Singer Garners Both
‘Country Artist Of The Year’ And ‘Country Album
Of The Year’ Nods For His ‘West Coast Country’ Sound

Emerging L.A.-based country artist and songwriter Brandon James has earned two LA Music Awards nominations for ‘Country Artist Of The Year’ and ‘Country
Album Of The Year’. James will contend for top honors at the 21^st Annual Los Angeles Music Awards show November 10, 2011at the legendary Hollywood
hotspot The Avalon.

For his country debut Down In The Sand, James collaborated with renowned mixer, engineer and recording studio owner Skip Saylor (Dwight Yoakum, Tom Petty, Bon Jovi, k.d. lang). The four-track EP was recently featured on AOL Music Listening Party, while the title track made its radio debut on The Ranch (KKUS 104.1, KFRO 1370, KCUL 1410).

The music video for James’ breezy first single, “Down In The Sand (With Me)” perfectly captures the laid-back west coast vibe, depicting him and his band enjoying a fun-filled day in the sun at the Santa Monica Pier. The video is directed by Christian Laursen of Embrace Films and can be viewed on YouTube.

In addition to the hype surrounding the upcoming award show, James has been on the promotional circuit in support of his sophomore EP. The singer was recently profiled by Sidebeat Music on ActorsEntertainment.com. On June 26, James will interview with Big Blend Radio as a part of their Champagne Sundays segment.

Steeped in James’ country culture is his passion for cooking, which he shares via posts on his website blog “ Country Rock Recipes.” He has also teamed up with Sassy Cook’n to offer discounts on the site’s stylish kitchen apparel. James’ hobby has its roots in his family’s Toronto-based bakery business that James’ parents started when he was 12.
