Brendan James, a singer-songwriter who accompanies himself on piano, has been called “a songwriter on the rise” by Entertainment Weekly.

James and his producer, Warren Huart (Augustana, the Fray, Howie Day), pushed the envelope in 2010 in terms of tempo and production. They emerged with a second album that kept the spotlight on James’s emotionally resonant voice and expressive piano playing. Jesse Ruben, a Philadelphia-bred singer-songwriter, will open the show.
