Brinson James: From Rodeo Clown to PBR's Premier Entertainer
Brinson James, a 31-year-old entertainer in Professional Bull Riding (PBR), has made a name for himself as one of the premier entertainers in the sport. His journey began in the world of rodeo, transitioning from a rodeo clown, known by his stage names "Hollywood" and "Boogerhead," to the unique role of a PBR entertainer.
Born into the rodeo life, Brinson follows in the footsteps of his father who was a rodeo clown for nearly 40 years. This family tradition is evident in Brinson's performances, which feature his dogs, Re-Ride and Cheddar, known as "the Wonder Dogs." These canine companions contribute to the shows with frisbee tricks and barrel climbs between rides.
Brinson's career took off in 2012 when PBR Canada hired him and his father to perform at all their events. Richard Jones, the music director at PBR Canada, was impressed by Brinson's father's work and wanted to use Brinson as a performer. Unfortunately, Brinson's father was unable to attend due to a broken leg, so he recommended Brinson instead.
By the age of 17, Brinson was running shows on his own. His career has since seen him perform at the PBR World Finals, tour across the U.S. and Canada, and debut at the prestigious event. Last year, Brinson fulfilled his dream of earning a PBR World Finals buckle at the age of 30.
Brinson considers his job as an entertainer to be the only job he will ever have. He enjoys the energetic crowd interaction, which he sees as his primary responsibility - to get the crowd to scream and hype them up. His dedication and passion for the job are evident, as he has checked every box on the entertainer's bucket list.
Rodeo is entertainment, according to PBR, and Brinson's energetic and unique performances certainly reflect this. However, PBR considers itself an athletic competition, not a rodeo, reflecting the sport's focus on the athletic prowess of the riders and bulls.
Despite this, Brinson's role as an entertainer is crucial to the success of PBR events. His performances help to create an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation, contributing to the overall enjoyment of the sport for both the riders and the spectators.
In summary, Brinson James has a substantial background as a rodeo clown, shaped by a family tradition in the rodeo industry. He has progressed to becoming a prominent and dedicated PBR entertainer, known for his dynamic crowd engagement and unique act involving his trained dogs. His career is a testament to his passion for the sport and his commitment to entertaining the crowds that come to witness the thrilling world of Professional Bull Riding.
