Brendan James + Tony Lucca

Carly Simon claimed that Brendan James has "a voice which will change the world." We think his piano-led, ’70s-style pop is likely to appeal to masses of folks who'd rather not hear anything new or exciting. Still, he's playing behind his latest album, Hope in Transition, and counts the U.S. women's national soccer team as fans (the athletic ladies reportedly blasted his 2010 hit "The Lucky Ones" pre–Olympic matches).
