Yeeeehaww, 2 and a half days in Kentucky, and I’m a changed man. Been watchin rodeo, drinkin 4 roses, hangin out with a bunch a cardinals. Highlights of the week so far have been partyn into the night after the show at Phoenix Hill Tavrn, forgetting my piano at the venue (that’s a first), chillin at the Hyatt (who have been so very accommodating) and of course finding two more great vintage stores to sift thru with my band. (Who r all convinced they should have been born in the early sixties).
We’re about to hit some Louisville distilleries, then hit the road to Alabama.

Buttercups being a trooper

Brendan James checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace (@brendanjames) on Saturday (December 6), after performing at the New York Stock Exchange’s 85th annual Christmas tree lighting on Broad Street the previous day. The singer songwriter tells readers:

As you know I had the honor of performing at the 85th annual NY Stock Exchange on Thursday. It felt so good to be able to share the stage with Gavin DeGraw and Aretha Franklin. The weather was perfect (well, when I went on) and there were thousands of people filling Wall Street, I had never seen it like that. I sang “Oh Holy Night” and “Happy XMas/War is Over”

I thought the John Lennon song was appropriate given the current climate of the stock exchange…

“So this is Christmas and what have you done? Another year over, and a new one just begun”

I’m looking forward to our new year beginning, I feel like we have some good coming to us. Back to that day, we got the true rock-star treatment (Thank you Chris O’Donnel) Due to the high security of the NYSE We were pretty much stuck in our dressing room for a large part of the day, I’m not gonna lie, some wackiness ensued after the first 2 hours, lets just say some interesting phrases were thrown up on the Hang Man Board. Luckily Steve, our page for the day, came and took us on a grand tour of the building including getting to go out and see the trading floor. You wouldn’t think it would be a big deal but once you were in there It was really unbelievable to think that the whole world is effected by what was going on that very second in that very room. I got nervous I was gonna trip on a plug and shut the whole thing down.

I’m on the road right now, but I’ll try to get on tomorrow to tell you about Hamilton College and everything else going on!

Peace and Love

Brendan James updated fans on his blog at MySpace (@brendanjames) on Wednesday (October 8). The New York City based singer songwriter tells readers:

I had to tell you, Its been fun rocking my ‘rock the vote’ t-shirt the last few days.. thanks to the ‘rock the vote’ people for driving their big ass bus to meet up with me in Columbus.. I’ve always believed in voting, especially for this election. I think young people are going to play such a huge role in the future of this country, so its an important one to say the least. - The last time I did Rock the Vote I was in Texas and every time I was trying to film my commercial someone interrupted with a loud sound check, I thought I was being punk’d I’ll see if I can upload the video to here, but you can see it if you YouTube Brendan James, rock the vote. Worth a good laugh!!

Brendan James’ latest video clip features the singer songwriter and his band checking in while driving into Alabama in their tour van. “When I started off touring with Chris, months ago, I could handle him, I could tolerate him,” Brendan said while sitting behind his keyboard. “Now, he’s driving me a little crazy.” They then revealed the van’s name - Buttercup.

We love her already, and has been aptly named.. Buttercup. Yep, Buttercup. You’d have to ride in her to understand :-) … I will upload some videos in the next few days so you can meet her!”
