Tune in for my powerful interview with Brent Bourgeois
Brent Bourgeois is a long-time colleague and notable American rock musician, songwriter, and producer who most recently worked with Julian Lennon on their single ‘The High Road‘ off of his New Album ‘Don’t Look Back’ (with sales supporting Julian’s White Feather Foundation).
Brent was co-leader of the band Bourgeois Tagg with Larry Tagg, whose second album, “YoYo”, was recorded with esteemed producer Todd Rundgren (long-time collaborator of mine). I tried to sign them to EMI during my tenure in A&R there but Island got them instead. Brent then went on to do several solo albums, and then to serve as the Vice President of A&R at Word Records in Nashville from 1997-2001. He just distributed his first solo album in twenty years entitled “Don’t Look Back” through a new paradigm called “kick-finishing” empowering fans as a street-team of sorts to help market and evangelize this amazing new CD. It’s a testament to the power of collaboration based on long-term relationships with trusted artist colleagues, and the songs on this CD are exceptional; pure bliss.
