DOWNLOAD: Free Music from SXSW’s The BGP
What’s NEW and What’s NEXT? Continuing on the white hot streak of Seattle musicians featured on this site, THE BGP are tipping the cow right over.
Heading to Austin this month to perform at SXSW, Seattle’s upbeat “blue-eyed soul” band THE BGP just advanced in “America’s Got Talent” competition after a standing ovation of Elton John’s “Benny and the Jets” won the judges and the crowd over (via Guerrilla Candy). The BGP has a reputation of electrifying live performances, packed houses, and often jumping onstage and performing with other local acts from Seattle’s tight-knit music community. Recently touring with bands like the break-out stars Fitz and the Tantrums, Ernie Halter, and Allen Stone, the BGP is known for free-styling lyrics and ridiculous musicianship.
THE BGP chose select blogs to give away a free download of “Name” from their recent release Love & Rent and RadioPotato was one of the lucky few! Be sure to catch them at SXSW and follow them on Twitter and Facebook. In the meantime, download the pop-infused bluesy track (the little “down” arrow on the right) and enjoy!

The BGP are simply fabulous! Not only are they incredibly talented musicians, they are amazing guys!
They play fun, catchy feel-good music that still speaks to your soul! I am a fan forever!!
