James Harman July 10, 2010

James Harman lives in southern California, but his music clearly reflects his southeastern roots. Harman's roots are apparent in his recordings and live performances. He is a disciple of the classic qualities of the Southern blues tradition. Still, like his mentors, Harman is telling his own stories. He knows the difference between innovation and imitation, and his own character as a blues artist is fully reflected in his work. In all cases, he remains true to his credo -- strictly the blues.
