The Hotel Café in Hollywood, CA announces the release of singer-songwriter Jim Bianco’s third album Sing on March 4, 2008. Sing will be the very first label imprint release for the Hotel Café (distributed by Ryko Disc), a venue that has become known worldwide as a haven for burgeoning singer-songwriters making a name for themselves. The Hotel Café moniker has become synonymous with such talents as Rachel Yamagata, Cary Brothers, Gary Jules along with many other stellar performers.

After stumbling into the Hollywood venue accidentally on one “Songwriter Sunday” Jim would play a few songs and be asked to open for Gary Jules the following week. Bianco would become a permanent fixture amongst the Café scene and stage, often to be found playing piano and singing in the smoking room on his night off. Jim calls the Hotel his “other home” and adds that “a majority of the new record was composed at the piano in the smoking room or based on an incident that took place somewhere in the Café, usually sometime after midnight.”
