About

I am an accomplished vocalist, guitarist, pianist and ukulele player with a passion for taking weddings to the next level. I have used music to enhance ceremonies, cocktail hours, dinners, receptions, first dances and rehearsal dinners.<br><br>"I can't say enough about how professional James was, how fantastic his sound is and how well the music completed our wedding vibe."<br>,br>My song-list includes over 400 selections from all genres and decades of music, from The Beatles to Bieber and everything in-between. I have been profiled by Seattle Weekly, featured on KEXP and opened for national touring artists like Sheryl Crow.<br><br>"James was absolutely fabulous. Book him for your wedding, he's well worth the money. Thank you, James, for making my walk down the aisle memorable!"<br><br>I have been praised by clients for my talent, professionalism and attention to detail. Each wedding package includes a professional-quality sound system and a zoom planning session. I am also available for private parties, corporate events and full band performances.<br><br>"James was professional and punctual. He knew exactly what to play and how to play it to suit the mood of our party."

Wedding Musician

James sang and played guitar at our wedding in June. He did a wonderful job and was a pleasure to coordinate with. He played some songs while the guests were arriving, then while everyone walked down the aisle, and then more songs during cocktail hour. He is super talented, has a beautiful voice, was willing to learn a few new songs, and overall just made our wedding special. The guests loved him!
