Hi, I'm James. I've enjoyed playing music since I was very young. Early in life my family played music at local churches and retirement communities. When I was 9 years old, my two brothers and I played some tunes at a bluegrass festival in Smyrna, Delaware. I spent a few years of my life wandering from bluegrass music, to heavy metal music, then country music, then, in about 2001, back to bluegrass music.
I've been involved with a few different band configurations over the years. I really like doing bluegrass music that has great harmony, thoughtful lyrics, and where you can just feel the music pulling you along.
I feel like the music I do is a gift from God . . . and I usually wind up doing tunes that talk about heaven or about "heart stuff".
I play and do shows with a band called "Morning Edition". I also do some recording sessions and coach other dobro players who are learning to play.
A big thank you goes to some of my radio DJ friends who help promote the music. Cristi at WQSU radio, Larry Royce at The Word FM, and Davis Tracy.
If you like the music you hear, be sure to post a comment on myspace or send me an email.
