S5 Ep68: Brian James

03/14/23 • 50 min

Today's friend of the podcast took to songwriter at just 12 years old. Four short years later he found himself on the road with none other than the Pure Prairie League on tour for three months. In 2005, he moved to Nashville and signed his first publishing deal just a year later (his story is a movie). After many commercial and independent cuts alike, he moved back to Seattle and started TSDC Music Group - his very own publishing company based in the Pacific Northwest.
So without further ado, please welcome an avid Mariners fan - the man behind more than a thousand songs, a thousand shows, and a thousand melted hearts - Brian James.
