An American singer-songwriter signed to Capitol Records at age 25 and Universal Records at 28, Brendan James has collaborated or toured with the likes of John Mayer, John Legend, Cat Stevens, Carly Simon, Keb Mo, and Andy Grammar, and his songs have been placed in over 15 major television shows and films worldwide. Writing songs on the topics of love, optimism, political enlightenment, simplifying, self-empowerment, wanderlust, and adventuring aimlessly through the natural world, James has left no stone unturned in his six studio albums to date. His performances are chock full of stories and fresh perspectives that seem to leave his crowds wanting more every time.
Max Bartos is a Folk and Americana singer/songwriter whose music blends introspective lyricism with anthemic folk-rock energy. As the frontman of his band Max Bartos & The Misfit Toys, he creates songs rooted in storytelling, emotional honesty, and a modern acoustic-driven sound influenced by Mumford & Sons and Noah Kahan.
His debut album, Memento Mori (2023), introduced Bartos as a reflective, narrative-focused writer, exploring themes of mortality, resilience, and personal reckoning. The 2024 single Diamond In The Rough marked a refined sonic direction, while his latest release, Waiting At The Crossroads (2025) captures a defining moment in his artistic evolution—expanding his folk and Americana foundation with richer dynamics and a clearer sense of identity.
With early theatrical roots, including work with Sing Street on Broadway, Bartos brings a natural sense of pacing and presence to both recordings and live performances. Fresh off a 30-date U.S. tour with The Misfit Toys, he has further solidified his reputation as a compelling live act. Recently signed with Noble Steed Music, Max Bartos continues to build momentum through intentional songwriting, immersive performances, and a growing body of work connecting deeply with listeners.
