Sixteen-year-old BMI singer/songwriter Matt Bair stopped by the New York office recently to perform an acoustic set of some of his newest songs. Bair, who fronts Long Island pop/punk/rock band bandcamp, is in the process of signing a deal with EMI Music Publishing while his band is generating major label interest. The high school band will also be featured at the upcoming NEMO Music Showcase & Conference taking place September 5-6 in Boston and is a major contender in the NEMO Emerging Artists Competition.
