James did a great job with just his guitar and amplifier. His music and voice were great.

Great event!

Although the rain kept some people away, those that attended had a great time dancing and listening to James. We will book him again!

Wonderful music, strongly recommend him.

James was very easy to work with. He always answered any questions I had promptly. He was very courteous. He arrived early to set up. The music was so good, and just what we needed. We had a small outdoor party. Despite it being hot, he sang the entire allotted time (we did set up a fan for him). He played the type of music we preferred, and has a nice voice with great tone to it. It just really sent our event over the top. I would definitely hire him again!!!!

What to expect

I can sing with just a guitar, and I can sound like a full band using original backing tracks on a computer that I have recorded and arranged. I play wide variety of cover songs from country, classic rock and rock & roll songs from the 50s 60s 70s 80s. Songs from George Strait to John Denver, James Taylor to Eagles, CCR and Zz Top.
I also can sing original songs, and older Gospel songs as well as original Christian music.
