This news is music to our ears. Literally. One of our favorite up and coming bands, Blackwater James, has been signed to Fastrax Entertainment. Job well done, guys. The American music scene is about to get a crude awakening of just how much good quality tunes its radio waves have been missing.

Nashville’s Fastrax Entertainment will be overseeing the day-to-day performance management of Blackwater James as well other marketing initiatives, including corporate endorsements.

Congratulations, Blackwater James, for delivering a vocally and instrumentally flawless EP, Vol. 1, and for being signed.

Maybe it is better for water not to be crystal clear. Darker water equals more substance. And in the music world, the more musical content in a song, the better the track. Do not take this literally. We are not saying to pollute the water; we are simply telling aspiring bands to look at Blackwater James as a source of guidance.
