james dalton

Bio:

James Dalton may be from New Jersey, but he’s honed his craft in virtually every part of the world. From tiny pubs to large festivals; from legendary clubs like the Stone Pony and the Bitter End to ships at sail in the Baltic Sea; he’s won over audiences with his breathtaking vocals, energetic harp playing, and wonderful tales that come to life through his music. His passport shows his never-ending quest to entertain; he will go anywhere and perform at any time regardless of the size of the venue or the location on the globe. It doesn’t matter whether he’s performing in front of five people or five thousand, there’s rarely been an artist so comfortable in his own skin. To get your hands on the new album, "butterflies and passerbys" please check it on iTunes and at www.cdbaby.com/daltonjames.
