Brent James Wins BMI/FMF Showcase Competition
New York singer/songwriter Brent James claimed top prize in the BMI/Florida Music Festival (FMF) contest. James’ vintage-inspired rock earned two festival spots: slots in BMI’s FMF stage and BMI’s FMF Acoustic Brunch lineups.
After recording his full-length debut in Nashville, James is enjoying acclaim from coast to coast: Los Angeles’ All Access Magazine calls James a “breath of fresh air,” while Time Out New York has praised the up-and-comer’s “amazing stage presence.”
FMF has a strong track record of showcasing the nation’s most auspicious unsigned talent, as past performers include a 13-year-old Taylor Swift, Flyleaf, The Academy Is, Manchester Orchestra, There For Tomorrow, and more, sharing stages with past headliners including Third Eye Blind, Flogging Molly, Buckcherry and Less Than Jake.
