Singer-songwriter Brendan James was in the midst of moving cross-country (from California to South Carolina) when he learned that the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team was playing his song, \u201cThe Lucky Ones,\u201d in the locker room before games at the London Olympics.\u00a0 Team member Heather O\u2019Reilly introduced her teammates to the song and started the pre-match ritual.\u00a0 To cheer the team on while en route, James stopped in Amarillo, TX, at Tarpley Music and recorded a live performance of the song and his best wishes for the soccer team (video clip here:\u00a0 http:\/\/youtu.be\/osj1nsoFTzU<\/a>) and sent the video via Twitter to the players.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

A number of team players responded and retweeted his video:<\/strong><\/p>\n

James released his third album, Hope In Transition<\/em>, on July 10, 2012 via Rock Ridge Music.\u00a0 He blurs the genre lines between shimmering soul, confessional folk, and goose-bump inducing pop-rock, and keenly balances a timeless sense of organic instrumentation with a playfully experimental penchant for slinky R&B-flavored beats and tasteful electro ambience. Prior to signing with Rock Ridge Music, he released an independent EP as well as two albums on the Decca label.<\/p>\n

During this formative time he played over 300 shows, building a robust fanbase touring with such diverse artists as John Mayer, Paula Cole, Keb Mo, Parachute, and Matt White. James garnered widespread exposure through his songs being featured on television shows such as \u201cPrivate Practice,\u201d \u201cAmerican Idol,\u201d \u201cBones,\u201d \u201cSo You Think You Can Dance,\u201d \u201cArmy Wives,\u201d and \u201cOne Tree Hill.\u201d \u00a0He also made TV appearances on \u201cRachael Ray\u201d and \u201cCBS Sunday Morning.\u201d \u00a0Both of Brendan James\u2019 Decca albums climbed the iTunes Top 10 pop charts\u2014James\u2019 sophomore album, Brendan James<\/em>, climbed to #1 on the iTunes singer-songwriter charts.<\/p>\n
