Eliot Bronson releases\u00a0James<\/em>; new album produced<\/h1>\n

by Grammy Award winner Dave Cobb<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Official showcase confirmed at AmericanaFest in Nashville next week<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Atlanta-based award-winning Americana singer-songwriter Eliot Bronson has just released his newest album,\u00a0James<\/i>, on August 25, 2017 via Rock Ridge Music (with distribution via ADA). Press has praised\u00a0James<\/i>;\u00a0Glide Magazine<\/i>\u00a0lauded the album, saying, \u201cThe cohesive collection of songs finds this young singer-songwriter in top form as he sings from an honest viewpoint and the similarities to Bob Dylan as well as artists like Ryan Adams and even Chris Isaak are undeniable from the very first song. The album\u2026 feels as close to Americana and country rock as it is to folk. \u2026each infectious song hammers home the realization that he is one of the most exciting up-and-coming artists around right now.\u201d\u00a0Nashville Music Guide<\/i>\u00a0echoed that emotion, writing, \u201cBronson takes you on ride of passion, emotion, and thoughtful stories. \u2026Bronson\u2019s new album is packed with great picking, beautiful and honest lyrics, and a foot stomping, knee slapping harp that will leave you wanting more.\u201d\u00a0The Daily Country<\/i>\u00a0appreciated that Bronson\u2019s album \u201coffers songs that are similar to snapshots – capturing moments, yet often revealing something deeper.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

James\u00a0<\/i>was produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb (Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton), who also produced Bronson\u2019s most recent, self-titled album. \u201cIt was a pleasure working with Eliot,\u201d says Cobb. \u201cHe is a brilliant lyricist and poet.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cDave Cobb\u2019s honesty and old-fashioned vibe were so appealing to me,\u201d Bronson says. \u201cThey leant themselves to the way I created. And, of course, it was a huge boost to have this great artist\/producer at your back.\u201d Cobb and Bronson had worked together previously on his 2014 release,\u00a0Eliot Bronson<\/i>. \u201cBut this album is different,\u201d Bronson points out. \u201cIt\u2019s more sparse and economical. My voice is stronger. And I think it\u2019s a step away from the purely Americana vibe of the last one in a direction that I have a hard time defining. I\u2019m excited to discover how this music will define itself.\u00a0 I’m immensely proud of this record. It\u2019s the best thing I\u2019ve done.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bronson, who is on the road in support of his new album (see tour schedule below) with dates scheduled in the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast, is also set to perform at AmericanaFest in Nashville at ACME on September 13th.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Originally from Baltimore, Bronson grew up in a religious household \u2013 both his father and grandfather were Pentecostal ministers \u2013 and Bronson found shelter in music. At age 15, he got his first guitar and started teaching himself to play. From local coffee houses and venues beyond Baltimore, Bronson sharpened his writing and performance. A local following grew; the Baltimore Sun anointed him \u201ca folk singing wunderkind.\u201d Expanding his range, Bronson then toured as one-half of a duo. They moved to Atlanta, and when his partner quit, Bronson persisted on his own.<\/p>\n

Embraced for his 2014 self-titled album by the likes of CMT Edge,\u00a0Country Weekly<\/em>,\u00a0Guitar World<\/em>, Sirius XM\u2019s Outlaw Country,\u00a0Acoustic Guitar Magazine<\/em>\u00a0and more,\u00a0Paste Magazine<\/em>\u00a0called Bronson and his music \u201can Americana gem\u201d and \u201ca poetic blend of urban coffee house and outskirts-of-town saloon.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Glide Magazine<\/em>\u00a0named the album \u201cone of the best releases\u201d of 2014 and called Bronson \u201ca rock and roll, folk, country mash-up \u2026 [with] strong songwriting and lush vocals. \u2026Eliot Bronson is like a gorgeous, magnificent hybrid of [Ryan] Adams, Jason Isbell, and Jim James. \u2026his songs are so purely authentic and well crafted\u2026\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Saving Country Music\u00a0<\/em>praised Bronson for \u201ccapturing moments of spectacular insight and feeling, and giving words to what previously were thought to be unmentionable, and undefinable feelings, and doing it all with a deep sense of mood and melody that make the emotions drip from the edges of the notes like tears.\u201d\u00a0Bop n Jazz<\/em>\u00a0upped that ante by heralding him as \u201cmaybe the best singer\/songwriter since Dylan.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bronson has released three critically acclaimed solo albums and, prior to his solo career, was a member of The Brilliant Inventions. He has won such esteemed songwriting awards as first place at Chris Austin Songwriting Contest at MerleFest and Eddie Owen Presents \u201cSongwriter Shootout,\u201d and he\u2019s been a finalist at Kerrville Folk Festival, Rocky Mountain Folks Fest Songwriting Contest, and New Song Contest Lincoln Center NYC.<\/p>\n
