sawgrass is the umbrella under which James Harris Moore and a rotating cast of friends play. Sometimes he plays alone, sometimes with a full band, sometimes with just a friend or two. Micah Jones, Daniel Gerth, Julia Carruthers-Thorne, and Lixian Hantover have all joined James onstage at one point or the other. With the invaluable help of producer Rogers Masson, sawgrass finished recording their first album, "The Archipelago" in March of 2007. It is now available at CDBaby through the link below, or at any sawgrass show.
I unfortunately won't be back until mid-August. I have a show lined up at JJ's for August 16th, but that's so cool that Sam's having shows at Bobbie's too. Let me know how it goes.
YES YES YES YES YES!!! I'm going to look into booking at TT the Bears, Great Scotts, and the Middle East, so if you'll do the same we'll have double the chance of booking the gig! I also like to play colleges a lot, so I'll see if I can get you on the bill for some of those as well. That's awesome man, can't wait!
so i've decided that next time when I call liz, and you're around...i'm gonna get me some james phone time with you ACTUALLY on the phone. yep. cause you're too important just to pass messages along to. cool?
Hey James! It was really nice to meet you too :) And I really hope that you will come to Denmark again! As I have already said; you are amacing... and I'm very gratefull for having met and heard you.. love from Anne-Louise see you!
you know, it's kind of like I was...but I wasn't. but i'm glad I finally decided to be a real team player. and don't worry, I don't really understand me either. so, that said, are we good?
if there was a battle in nashville between music that sucks hard and music that is astonishing, you guys would be on the astonishing side and not the sucks hard side, based on what i saw at the basement. the line has been drawn, my friends. let us raise an army.
hey is there any way that i could not go to practice on monday cause it'll be my last chance to see jeffrey before he leaves forever. i can maybe come to part of it, but i'll have to play it by ear. i can practice any time on tuesday though.
so i was at work the other day with my headphones on listening to the radio and "you give love a bad name" came on and couldn't help but laugh and laugh. my cubicle neighbors probably think i'm crazy. i'm holding out for a crippled masters reunion show. shade's in town. you should totally do it. hahahah....
Hey James, things are going pretty well for me. I've spent the summer in LA, but I'm looking forward to getting back to Chicago. Do you think you'll make it back out there at all in the next year? If you do, you'll have to let me know when you're coming to town...take care!
so, I was thinking about your hair (as I do every so often), and i've concluded you need a new photo with the new hair. and oh, I thought about this too...i'm a photographer. geez, that works out swell, doesn't it?
