HOLLYWOOD, CA (Indie911 announcement/website) - Philadelphia based singer-songwriter Brian Seymour has signed a major licensing deal for original music that is being used in the
State of Pennsylvania's national TV and radio advertising campaign for encouraging tourism in the artist's home state.
Seymour, who has released five critically acclaimed and independently released solo albums, has become a phenomenon of late in the independent music scene, regularly licensing, selling, promoting and performing his music at a pace usually reserved for artists signed to major labels with the well paid armies of corporate marketing and promotion departments.
Having just completed his sixth full length album, Brian Seymour will travel to Los Angeles next week for a series of high profile appearances - Friday, June 11th at 8pm Seymour performs with his full band at the LAX Hilton as part of the Global Entertainment Media Summit (GEMS) and at the Viper Room on the Sunset Strip, Saturday, June 12th at 830pm. Admission is Free.
This month, Seymour is the subject of Performing Songwriter Magazine's coveted "DIY Spotlight." Describing his last album, "When I Was Blonde," as "Superbly produced, finely honed and by far one of the most compelling releases we've heard this year," the feature states that Seymour is "a writer of serious vision in the vein of David Gray and Elvis Costello." The album was recently licensed to the Japanese label Trident Style, and Seymour has a growing fan base in Asia.
"The attention is great, and of course the money helps keep everything afloat -- especially as an independent," said Seymour, who has had his songs covered by major label artists like Cowboy Mouth and used on TV shows such as ABC's Veritas, VH1's Rock of Ages, and films such as "Sweat: a story of solidarity with Indonesian workers."
Indie911, the leading independent artist's resource network, represents Seymour for management and music licensing. Brian Seymour's Artist Page is located at: and features most of Seymour's catalog available for free listening.
