Jim Bianco Drops By BMI to ‘Sing’

Critically hailed singer/songwriter Jim Bianco, described by LA Weekly as “…on par with Elvis Costello and Tom Waits,” recently made a stop at the BMI L.A. office to serenade the staff with songs from his soon-to-be released album Sing, due in stores March 4.

Bianco, currently on tour in support of the release, is also featured on many stops on the Hotel Café Tour 2008; he’s been a fixture at the popular Hollywood hangout since its inception. Bianco’s music has also been aired on radio, placed in movies such as Waitress, and on Bravo and HBO.

Shown are (l-r): Dan Berlant and Josh Sanderson of Black Sand Music; Joe Maggini, Linda Livingston, Myles Lewis, and Barbara Cane of BMI; Jim Bianco; and Brad Gordon, co-producer and band-mate.
