********************************************************

Ed James loves a hook...and he's always looking for the next one. He believes that great melodies and harmonies make the world go round. Mr. James began his music career at the age of 2, beating the crap out of pots and pans on the kitchen floor. He became the drummer of his first rock band when he was in the 5th grade. Fast forward to the present...and somewhere along the way, Ed earned a Bachelor's degree in music, released 4 solo records, and had his tunes featured on VH1, NBC, independent films, as well as a bunch of compilation & tribute CDs. His new record, "...In The 21st Century", is now available.
