Overview

My name is James Haynes. I am the lead singer, songwriter and guitar player in Jimmys Famjamly; (a collective jam band playing everything from acoustic stylings to big band style with music ranging from country to reggae) as well as nation wide touring funk band, Merican Slang. Based out of Albuquerque New Mexico Merican Slang is a “feel good dance yo ass off party band” that entertains the crowd and starts a funking party from song one. James is very versatile and capable of creating a band worthy of your desired feel. Call him up now!

Keeps his word

Jimmy did what he said he was going to do. No matter what was happening in his life at the time he pulled off the personalized song that I wrote. I'll definitely use him in the future.

Hired as: One Man Band
