BRENDAN BENSON
Brendan was briefly signed to Virgin records
in the late 1990s. The director claims that
his album, "One Mississippi," is one of the greatest
undiscovered pop albums he's ever heard.
Judge for yourself by listening to the following tracks.
Emma
Crosseyed

Blessed



BARBARA MORRISON
A true jazz great.
Don't Touch Me


THE BIG SHOTS
The director discovered this band when they were playing
a party. Johnny Fabulous and his swing band wrote this song about a boxer, but in Baggage, it relates to
Martin's character and is probably the most important
cue in the film. It replaced the song, Smoke Gets
In Your Eyes which would have cost more than
$20,000.00 to license.

Up Off the Canvas


LARRY GOLDINGS
Talk about piano with soul. Check out these tracks.

Strays

Prayer


THE NEGRO PROBLEM
Don't be fooled by the name. These guys are one of the L.A's top local bands. The director shot their music video for the song, Birdcage, but this song in Baggage is a hidden track (#18) on their hit album, Post Minstrel Syndrome.
Club Girl Terrain


WIGGIN

This undiscovered rapper is similar in style to the Beastie Boys, Eminem, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. The director has
a very close personal relationship with this artist.

JOSH JOPLIN
This artist sings for sold out shows in the Eastern part of the United States. His music video was on MTV, and he's appeared on David Letterman. The director met him back in 1994 and fell in love with the song on his demo called, Here I Am. Three years later, he asked if he could use it as the title song in the film. While Josh and his band had been making albums and playing out for years, they never professionally recorded that song. The director flew him out to LA in 1999 and had the song recorded specifically for the film.
