CMA Fest Artist Spotlight feature Brian James On Air With DJ Jazzy Kat!

brian schram
CMA Fest Artist Spotlight feature Brian James Schram is an artist many of you may already be familiar with. His successful background and vast experience with many popular artists have led him to step out on his own, taking his success to the next level.


While watching him backstage at Alley Taps during his interview with the Iceman, I discovered there was a lot more to this impressive musician than I thought. I wondered how I would be able to get through our interview without asking him the same questions as the Iceman. Schram’s answers were so good. You will have to search for his interview with Iceman later, as I decided it would be best to have a completely different conversation with Schram. I am so glad I did. Watch our conversation now to learn more about this talented and very smart man. Check out a sneak peek of his bio (taken from his website) below.


“Brian James Schram began his musical career at the age of fifteen. The son of a journeyman honky-tonk singer and musician, his earliest musical memories are the sounds of classic country music. Listening to the likes of George Jones, Lefty Frizzle, Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton, and of course the immortal Hank Williams with his Dad, Brian's love of guitar was influenced by the great country pickers he heard in his youth, and he knew he wanted to pursue a career in music at a very young age.


As the lead guitarist for Uncle Kracker, Brian had the pleasure of performing on nationally syndicated TV shows such as The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with David Letterman, Regis and Kelly, and The Carson Daily Show. He has also had the pleasure of sharing the stage with the likes of Kenny Chesney, Colt Ford, Johnny Lang, Kenny Wayne Sheppard, Dustin Lynch, Parmalee, and Granger Smith. Even with all his successes, Brian felt it was time to step out on his own and go back to his roots, where his heart lies, with Country Music. Known as a great rock guitarist and songwriter, the influences of country music have always been present in everything he has done, so it really isn't a transition; it's more like "Coming Home to Country.”


Please follow Schram on social media, check out his website and watch our full conversation now. You will definitely be seeing a lot more of him. Feel free to send him a message and tell him hello for me.

SPEAKER_00 0:53

Yeah, um, you know, bas basically uh uh I'm a singer, guitar player. Um you know, I I write all my music. Um been been out there pounding the pavement for a little minute, for a little minute. Um started off in in Michigan. Uh that's where I I was I was born and raised and spent a lot of a lot of my time and then just moved around a little bit in Texas, a little bit in North Carolina, and and then um I ended up signing uh an independent deal uh with a label uh here in New Orleans, and um and they they brought me down here. They kind of kind of tricked me.

SPEAKER_01 1:36

Uh-oh. How did they do that? That's talking we're talking money, right?

SPEAKER_00 1:40

Yeah, well, no, not necessarily. It's it's funny how it all how it all worked out. Um we were in Nashville um at CRS.

SPEAKER_01 1:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:50

Uh and um and uh I came down from Michigan and and and the CEO of the label said, why don't you so we're come down to Nashville, but but bring bring some clothes um and pack you know your guitars and stuff like that. And I'm gonna I'm gonna bring you down, I'm gonna bring you down to New Orleans after CRS, and and we're gonna do some things in New Orleans for a little while. I said, Well, how long? And he said, Well, he said, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 2:21

Oh boy, that's a broad one, huh? Wow.

SPEAKER_00 2:24

Yeah, he said, as long as it takes, that's what it was. He's as long as it takes. And I was like, Oh gosh, all right. So so I did, and and that was almost three years ago now.

SPEAKER_01 2:34

Wow, and you've been hustling since you were 15, right?

SPEAKER_00 2:37

Yeah, I've been hustling, yeah. Well, yeah, I mean I started playing guitar around that time, but um uh, you know, I've been I've been here in New Orleans really really hustling for about about three years now. Um, and uh just playing, you know, playing everywhere and anywhere that I can, you know, because it was it's really it was just it was like starting from scratch if you think about it, um going to a new area. You don't know uh any bar, you know, any club bar owners, you don't know anybody, and uh and I basically was starting from scratch and um I was here about a year of preparing, you know, stuff like that, and then finally started getting showed real, you know, I'd say about a f a a full you know a full year and a half where I've really been uh been able to do you know play real shows. You know, uh I have a band now, you know, four-piece band, some guys out of Baton Rouge, and um, and it's been awesome. You know, it's it's uh it's an interesting uh vibe down here. It's like you know, it's it's it's the you know who knows who vibe and and the cliques and stuff like that. You gotta you gotta kinda get in, you know, and then once you get in, you get in, and um and uh somehow, you know, you're in like Flynn, right? Yeah, somehow I was able to make that happen, you know, and uh so that's that's that's where I'm at right now. I'm just just grinding away, playing, playing, playing, and I like I tell my I tell my agent, you know, and and uh and stuff is it you know there's no place that's too big and there's no place that's too small, you know.

SPEAKER_01 4:26

That's a wise that's a really wise answer because a lot of people think that they could shoot for the stars like right out the gate, and you're very wise to take what you can get, right?

SPEAKER_00 4:36

Yeah, I just you know, and it's just it's just uh the love that I have for what I'm doing, you know. I really truly love what I'm doing, and if it's for ten people, it's for ten people. If it's for ten thousand, even better.

SPEAKER_01 4:49

I love it. I love that idea of you know, that's what they call keeping it real. People like that in the authentic of a of an artist such as yourself. So let me ask you a question. You started when you were younger. What's the difference between your guitar that you had then and now playing?

SPEAKER_00 5:05

The guitar?

SPEAKER_01 5:06

Yeah, the guitar. Did you have to upgrade as you get a little older?

SPEAKER_00 5:10

Oh yeah, oh yeah. Well, and it comes with music style too. You know, when I was when I was fifteen years old, you know, a little a little guy, um, you know, it was more I was more focused on learning how to shred, you know, um Joe Satriani was actually one of my very big influences why I why I started um playing guitar. I wanted to I wanted to play all of his stuff and and then from there it went you know went to like like blues, like Stevie Ray Vaughn.

SPEAKER_01 5:45

Excellent.

SPEAKER_00 5:45

And uh I went through a stratocaster phase for a while, playing Stevie Ray Von and Blues and B. King and all that stuff. And then it went to jazz and I started loving jazz and classical and I just went through so many diversity. So many Yeah, so many things, man. Um which I think has a big uh a big eff you know it's a big reason why I've I play the way I do now, all of those influences um, you know, kind of culminated into one thing. And um, and then you know, now recently, once I got my hands once I got my hands on a telecaster, um it that was it. That was it for me. Just the uh the you know the the the growl that you can get out of out of a telecaster, um the snap, you know, the the Brad Paisley thing, you know, meets Keith Urban thing, and and uh I just love the tone of a telecaster and the feel of the neck. And so that's what I got now. That's my baby. I've got an American standard telecaster blondie.

SPEAKER_01 6:53

Nice.

SPEAKER_00 6:54

And uh, yep, and uh makes for a more comfortable set, right?

SPEAKER_01 6:59

When you're out there, you want to be comfortable. I I've never asked this question. You're the first artist that I've ever asked that, so uh uh makes it very comfortable, right? For you to be able to perform and not have to think about it and just get into it, right?

SPEAKER_00 7:12

Oh, absolutely. Being comfortable is everything. Um, you know, I've had shows where where I wasn't comfortable and and uh man, you know, at the end of the set you just kind of go, uh, I know that wasn't good because I know that I wasn't comfortable. So, and that's what that if if you know if I have any any advice that I could give anybody out there, um make sure that you are comfortable on that stage. Don't let any manager try to, you know, talk business and bring you down before a show. Don't let any girlfriend bring you down and make you uncomfortable before a show. Make sure all of your gear, you're you're comfortable with it, you've double checked it, you're ready to go, because you're literally your one job is to get on that stage, be comfortable, be happy with what you're doing, and and and and make that translate to the people that you're playing for because that's what it's about. It's it's it's it's about you playing for those people and making them feel comfortable. And if you're not, they they will 100% see it. And and and in my mind, that's a wasted show. That's a wasted opportunity.

SPEAKER_01 8:23

There you go. Well, that's impressive. I'm very impressed with it. I'm also very impressed with the f the following of uh Dolly Parton that you actually like her. That's really cool. Do you know she just heard 80 years young?

SPEAKER_00 8:36

That is just you know, that's crazy, man. You have to think about that, you know. I mean, you know, I heard that stuff when I was just a little kid. My my my dad was such a great singer, and my mom too. Um, and and they, you know, they sang all that stuff. The the George Jones, the Dolly Parton, the the Randy Travis, the Allen Jacksons, you know, all of that stuff. I that's what I listened. That's what I was, you know, uh force fed, really, to be honest with you.

SPEAKER_01 9:03

It's a good breed. It's okay. That's great. How do you not like Dolly? Something's wrong if you don't like Dolly, right? And if you're following her, you know.

SPEAKER_00 9:11

Oh man, yeah, how could you not? She's just the sweetest person in that voice, just the her voice is undeniable. You know, it's it's real. You you can't fake something like that.

SPEAKER_01 9:23

No, that's what we were talking about before, keeping it real. So let's talk a little bit about Uncle Cracker. I've seen him before here in Connecticut at a place called the Cadillac Ranch. Have you been? Have you been there with him?

SPEAKER_00 9:36

Uh I don't think I'm not sure that I did do in uh that spot with him. Um I did a, you know, it was a short stint with Uncle Cracker. Um, you know, I did a few shows with him, some out on the west coast, some out on the east coast.

SPEAKER_01 9:52

Uh he always has a cocktail with him, Brian. He's always got a cocktail of some sort. What's in there?

SPEAKER_00 9:58

Oh, shoot. Man, I couldn't even tell you to be honest with you. I know he's he's got a lot of stuff. He's, you know, I don't I'm not sure what's in that.

SPEAKER_01 10:08

Maybe it's some Kool-Aid or something, right?

SPEAKER_00 10:10

Oh, yeah, just Kool-Aid. That's it. That's it.

SPEAKER_01 10:12

We won't give his secrets away. Every artist has their own story to tell. That's right. So you've been on some different shows like Jay Leno, the Tonight Show. How is that? How cool is that?

SPEAKER_00 10:26

You know, at the time, um, it was it was kind of uh uh just kind of a surreal moment, but it it was a moment where I I really didn't it I really didn't um it didn't compute what what I was doing. I was really, you know, young at the time, uh very green, and I I just looked at it like, okay, this is my job.

SPEAKER_01 10:53

Oh you know? Wow.

SPEAKER_00 10:55

I I wasn't yeah, I just wasn't old enough to really, you know, be like into the party of it. Like, oh man, I'm playing for a little cracker and going here, going there, I need to party it up and this and that. Um in fact I remember one show um out in the Verizon Outlet Center in in Illinois or Indiana, one of the two places. Um and we were, you know, I was on the bus, we had done our show, uh, we had opened for Kid Rock, and uh, and I just went to the bus and I was just you know kind of resting and doing my thing, and everybody else was inside partying it up, you know, with STP and like I remember Ron Jeremy being there with a bunch of models.

SPEAKER_01 11:39

You were like, wow, what's going on here? But I'm just a kid.

SPEAKER_00 11:42

Yeah, exactly. I was just a kid, you know, something like that.

SPEAKER_01 11:45

Innocence, that's what it was. It was the innocence.

SPEAKER_00 11:48

That's it, man. And and uh, and my buddy Kenny Olsen came to the bus. He's like, Hey man, why don't you come in and hang out? And I was like, I was like, well, all right. And then I went in this big, you know, this big broom building for just it took me about five seconds, and then I walked back out.

SPEAKER_01 12:07

You were like, This is not for me. I'm too little for this, right now.

SPEAKER_00 12:12

Be at the next show.

SPEAKER_01 12:14

High five everybody, right? Literally. There's not enough of Kool-Aid to go around for everybody.

SPEAKER_00 12:22

Yeah, not enough Kool-Aid in here.

SPEAKER_01 12:24

There you go. I love it. I love it. Keep it real, definitely. So I've been watching your video. You've got a new release coming up uh soon. Uh I d uh again, I want to know if it's a Ford or if it's a Chevy, or maybe I'm totally wrong and it's a Toyota. What are you jumping into? What's that all about?

SPEAKER_00 12:42

Oh yeah, man. That was a little idea I had. Um that's in New Orleans, and uh yeah, that's that's I've had I've had a RAM, I've had a Dodge RAM now for I've I've leased them for five years now.

SPEAKER_01 12:54

So they're very good on gas, that's what I've heard.

SPEAKER_00 12:57

Yeah, definitely. I I'm very happy with my Rams. I've never had any problems uh you know with my Rams, but that particular one I I uh I actually purchased it, so I'm not I'm not leasing anymore. So but yeah, that's a Dodge Ram.

SPEAKER_01 13:12

How many times did it take you to do the take for that video?

SPEAKER_00 13:15

Uh I tell you what, I I hit my head. No, you're hit my head about three times jumping in that thing. Um yeah, I'd say one, two, between 15 takes and 20 takes.

SPEAKER_01 13:32

All right.

SPEAKER_00 13:33

To get that perfect to it. Because I had to jump in, I had to jump in, because you know, TikTok reels, you they can't be too long, they gotta be snappy, they gotta be to keep people's attention. So so I I uh I had to I had to do a perfect where I jumped in the front seat and grabbed the door and shut it at the same time, pretty much. Okay Wow, that's a lot of yeah, and and then yeah, and then put it in drive and drive away, because that was the whole point of the the thing. So yeah, it took a few, it took a few takes.

SPEAKER_01 14:05

Do a little slow mo, right?

SPEAKER_00 14:07

Yeah, a little slow, yeah. That's right.

SPEAKER_01 14:09

Who was on the other side doing the recording?

SPEAKER_00 14:12

That was just me. I I just put up my my um tripod and and uh good job.

SPEAKER_01 14:18

Wonderful. I love it.

SPEAKER_00 14:19

Yeah, thank you.

SPEAKER_01 14:20

So it's not a Chevy. Uh oh well, I tried.

SPEAKER_00 14:23

It's not a Chevy. I well, you know, I had I have had Chevy's.

SPEAKER_01 14:29

Chevys are good, Chevies are good. We'll take the dodge though because it's good on gas for you. But in pertaining to that video, that's got to do with something that you've got going on pretty soon. Some kind of a release of a new song?

SPEAKER_00 14:42

Yeah, yep. It's been um it's been dropped uh on Spotify and and all the platforms like that. Um, but it uh it's it's uh it's due to be on Music Row.

SPEAKER_00 15:20

Yeah, thank you. Um uh a lot of things actually are are starting to happen because of that song. Um had people uh reach out, um labels, stuff like that, are reaching out. Think the song might be a hit. Um my most the most recent thing is we just signed a uh a distribution deal with Warner.

SPEAKER_01 15:43

Very cool. That's impressive.

SPEAKER_00 15:46

Yeah, thank you. That's that's something I've you know that's been working on for a long time. And and uh a gentleman by the name of Rob Terrell uh reached out. Um and uh and we I say we, um my my independent label is Bell Chase Records, and and uh they reached out to him and they entered into uh a deal, you know, with Rob Terrell. He's he's now overseeing the whole entire project. And uh if you don't know who Rob Terrell is, they call him the official deal maker.

SPEAKER_01 16:18

Love it. Good job. Yeah, and he's uh somebody behind you like that, definitely. Especially the world is kind of everybody says it's kind of crazy when it comes, especially into the music industry, you've got to have protection. And Warner's been around for hundreds of years, they do movies, music, TV, everything, right?

SPEAKER_00 16:38

Yep, it's it's it's definitely going to be amazing to have that that bigger machine, um, you know, behind the scenes just to to to get, you know, for more exposure, really is the way I look at it. Like you know, when you've got a major label machine behind the stuff pushing it, um, it's just gonna get to more people's ears, period.

SPEAKER_01 17:01

Well, you are the machine behind the music, so we absolutely gonna love everything that you're doing. Absolutely. Great job. Again, thank you. 20 takes, but you know what, you got it, and now you got the label, so how cool are you, right? I love it.

SPEAKER_00 17:14

Yeah, man. We're we're we're at least making moves, you know. We're at least making moves. So, and and like I, you know, and like I've I've told uh my brothers, my family, and everything, because they all they ask me all the time, you know, man, you you know, you need to be, you know, people at shows and stuff, I get it all the time. I'm not I'm not you know trying to brag or anything like that, but you know, they all say, Man, you need to be you need to be Keith Urban status, you need to be Luke Bryan, you're you're you're good, blah, blah, blah. And and I always tell them, you know what? I love what I do. If if it's if it's in, you know, if it's written in the stars, God wants it to happen, it's gonna happen. And but I'm not I'm not gonna I'm not gonna chase it like it's you know the only thing in my life. You know, I love I love writing music. I've I've I've become a pretty good writer over the years, and and it's not from it's it's not, you know, uh from lack of effort. I've really I have studied I've studied writing, you know, Hardy, one of the the best writers on the planet, Hardy in Nashville. Very nice. And uh and I study him. I study, you know, I study his words, his his slant rhymes, his metaphors, his all this stuff. Songwriting is is is not only being honest and and being honest about and in particular for me, I write things about my life and my personal experience, what I've actually gone through, or what my family members or or friends have, things I've seen and done. But it's also a science. You know, hit songwriting is 100% a science, and you have to pay attention to all that stuff, you know, if if you want to, you know, really, really reach reach a lot of ears, and and for me that's what it is. It's it's I want to be heard by as many people as possible.

SPEAKER_01 19:07

It definitely becomes a gravitational pull because you know I always say this all the time, Brian. If somebody's listening to your story, it is your story or somebody else's story, and you get the chills, right? Or you get the tear in your eye, or your heart starts erasing, or you want to get up and dance.

SPEAKER_00 19:23

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_01 19:24

They're all key elements when it comes to I'm again, I give you props for doing, you know, everything that you do. It takes a talent. I couldn't do it, and but listening to some of the music that's out there, and of course your music, you know, you you can't help but you fall in love with the idea of the person that takes their time to actually write something that's sincere. It's a bonus.

SPEAKER_00 19:47

Oh, I appreciate that. You know, and and this song, this new song, I will tell you, this new song that's that's uh that's out right now, and and and dropping my horse. I specifically said to myself, I am going to write the next line dance, country line dance banger. That is what I'm writing this song for. Nothing else.

SPEAKER_01 20:11

Well, inside I used to country line dance for 15 years.

SPEAKER_00 20:15

Yes, yes, you told me that, and man, that's so cool. I hope you can come up with some kind of dance. I've got I've got um I have uh a group of of girls that uh has choreographed a dance called the James Horse.

SPEAKER_01 20:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 20:31

We've been working on it. Um please tag me and all that. Couple months, yeah. We've got a video, we have a location, we're gonna do a video, and you're gonna start seeing a whole lot of videos of the James Horse. And and uh, you know, that you know, I'm really proud of that song just because the the past few years there's been so much country music on the radio that is very moody. And and and and I appreciate that because country music, that's the foundation of of great country music, is is is riding from the heart, and you know, and and everything that's been out there the past three years, and um the waiting in the trucks, and uh, you know, all these all these you know moody and ballad-esque type songs. And I think I just think it's it's time. I think there's a void right now in country music that needs to be filled. Bringing back that 90s Brooks and Dunn meets save a horse, ride a cowboy. I'm I'm ready to hear fun country music again because that's always been my favorite kind of country music.

SPEAKER_01 21:36

There you go. And I was gonna say dun dun dun dun, like he does in the beginning of that. You're saying the lyrics and I'm listening.

unknown 21:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:46

Yes, yes, what's what's better than you?

SPEAKER_01 21:50

I know, I get it. We can keep this going. It's another show, right?

SPEAKER_00 21:54

Absolutely, yeah. So I'm really excited about about that track and and um and And other people seem to be excited about it too. So I'm I'm very uh very hopeful and I think that track is going to reach a lot of ears and uh and get people out on the dance floor again and and just you know and and just make the world go away for for a little hot minute.

SPEAKER_01 22:16

There you go. I got a uh one more question for you. What are your what are your takeaways with the collaboration of country and rock?

SPEAKER_00 22:24

Country and rock, well, I think I think that country is rock, and I think that rock is country. If you go back to the Elvis Presley the Elvis days. Yes, absolutely. I mean, you're talking music that is country music nowadays, you know. I mean, the only difference is is really the you know, the lyrics now and and how um you know how the lyrics uh are said in a way that just relates a little more to country folk. Um but now now, current now, it's it's kind of back to you know lyrically those lyrics that kind of relates to everybody, not just country folk. Sure.

SPEAKER_01 23:11

Um it's it's spread out, it's diverse again.

SPEAKER_00 23:14

It's yeah, it's spread out and diverse again, and I think that's awesome. I mean, I think that you you have a genre of music now that that has no limits. Um you can you can talk about anything. Uh you don't just have to talk about being on the farm and the white picket fence and um those are fun topics though, too.

SPEAKER_01 23:35

I like that.

SPEAKER_00 23:36

Uh it's that's that's what I love, you know. That's what I love. And and just because that's where I was how it's how I was raised. That's the stuff that I seen when I was a kid.

SPEAKER_01 23:45

Nothing like hometown stuff. I love it.

SPEAKER_00 23:48

Yeah, man, you know, and and and that kind of stuff just really resonates with people. So but I think I think it's awesome. I think that it's it's all been the same, you know. The the shuffles and the bluesisk, you know, uh Brooks and Dunn, you look at Brooks and Dunn, Boots Doopenboogie. It's that's that's a that's a blues shuffle. You know, it's a 145.

SPEAKER_01 24:10

And um how many walls is that? Four wall dance? I'm gonna go back to my 32 count. You got me stumped. Yeah, yeah. It's a four-wall dance, I think, right?

SPEAKER_00 24:21

Yes, yes, yeah. That would be it, I believe.

SPEAKER_01 24:23

I'll give you a little education that I know, not so much, but I love to dance.

SPEAKER_00 24:28

Oh, I can learn, I could learn from that for sure on the on the dancing uh end of things.

SPEAKER_01 24:34

But so will we see you in a video pretty soon besides the music? Will you be dancing? Yes.
