I've recently finished recording an album of 10 original songs. On it I play acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards, and sing lead and background vocals. The project was produced and recorded by North Carolina-native Jamie Hoover (The Spongetones) at Hooverama Studios in Charlotte, NC. Jamie is also featured playing acoustic and electric guitars, bass guitar, drums, and singing background vocals.

Five of my original songs ("I'm Not Over You," "It Stands to Reason," "The Way She Loves Me," "I Hear Your Heart Calling" and "On the Way to Paradise") and a cover ("Definite Door" originally written and recorded by the Posies) have been played on various radio shows/stations:
Divakar Shukla's 90 Minutes on WEND 106.5 FM in Charlotte, NC;
Adam Waltemire's Pop Garden Radio on WMEL AM920 in Melbourne, FL;
Sue Miller's Beat Crazy on WAPS 91.3 FM in Akron-Canton, OH;
Charlie Saber's Rock and Pop Soufflé on WRUW 91.1 FM in Cleveland, OH;
Craig Leve's Snap, Crackle, Pop! on KWVA 88.1 FM in Eugene, OR;
Alan Haber's Pure Pop Radio Show on WEBR in Fairfax, VA; and
Gérard Girard's Pop Dreams on Radio Dio 89.5 FM in Saint-Etienne, France.

Podcast:

I hosted 22 podcasts to help promote Charlotte Pop Fest. Each episode featured a different artist/band that performed at Charlotte Pop Fest. You can subscribe via iTunes or download/stream each episode in MP3-format at www.charlottepopfest.com.

Booking/EPK:

I'm currently available to perform with my band James Deem & The Rebers. We play original music, penned by myself, in addition to a growing catalog of cover songs from artists popular in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and today.

I can perform as either a full band (featuring David Reber on drums, and Rob Reber on guitar), or solo acoustic to cater to a variety of venues and audiences.

James,
You are a great musician, an awesome singer, a phenemenal organizer for pop festivals, and that doesn't even begin to describe who you are as James Deem. You are truly a CLASS ACT and it has been an honor and priviledge to work with you - thanks really doesn't sum it up very well - but it was an amazing experience. I really hope we get to work together again!

Thanks for everything James. It was cool hanging in rainy, humid Charlotte. We had a ball.

Great meeting you & all the other cool people.

Best of luck,

Barry

I second Ed. What a fantastic time it was!!! Can we go ahead and start planning next year? Please, please, please?!?

Really, thanks for putting this whole thing together. It was absolutely great, to say the very least.

That Charlotte pop fest looks like a lot of fun. Wish I could be there, I've never been to that part of the country. Summer has, she tells me it's great.

Hi James,
Hope you are well. I am still here. I got to go see Todd Rundgren a few weeks ago in Orlando. Actually got to meet him, and the band. Now my goal is to make it back to Charlotte and see you before th years end. Take care! Looks like gigs are plentiful!

Hey DH,(the good one)
That was too bizarre listening to your interview on Maui airwaves. It was so cool that you should post the audio. I will have to get over your reference to an old love interest. I knew I didn't like that song :)
You realize I am the DW right?

JD-
Your "Daddy Loves Me" is almost too touching to listen to. I hate to admit it, but it gets to me. You're a brave soul and you took a tragedy and made something beautiful from it.

I enjoyed hearing you guys on New Years Eves in Charlotte at Sk'Net Cafe. Wish that I didn't have to leave early but I heard that it turned into quite a major throw down. The babes certainly outnumbered the dudes 5/2. Smokin show with Randy Franklin. See ya soon or at least in July at the Pop Fest.
Rock on.
