   About James Apollo
The time-honored art of nomadic wandering is one not celebrated too heavily in recent time and memory. Luckily, this is more virtue than shortcoming; for once you look deep into the eyes of a true drifter those old hobo feelings rush right back. Run around the country and get on by any means necessary, surely this is a place where true music comes from. “I lied, I cheated, I stole, and then I wrote about it. It’s a bit more glamorous now. Just ask my band.” James Apollo, a hardened character who has seemingly been on the road since the age of sixteen, speaks with a voice universal to all ideals of searching, adventuring, and conformity dodging. “Wherever I am in life, the core values of being a cheap, lowdown tumbleweed are probably going to prevail.” excerpt from an interview by Joel Armato, One Times One

Drenched in Civil War ghosts. The Times, London

Beautiful, yet slightly unsettling feel of a David Lynch film. The Scotsman

an earthy blend of haunted melodies and dusty rhythms. Sheffield Star

dreamlike backwoods imagery. Sunday Express

haunted, western-rich folk. The Onion

a master of melancholy, his smoky voice haunting each front-porch tale. Relix

beautiful and breath-taking in equal measure. The Evening Telegraph

gritty, rootsy, adventurous. Star Tribune

rustic semi-pop...[those] with a penchant for channeling gothic Americana in song will feel right at home Pulse
