Hometown: Nashville, TN / San Francisco, CA
(of The Waybacks)James, a Nashville native, started playing the guitar at age 9 and studied with Nashville session regular Jerry Kimbrough throughout high school. At 18, he came to California to attend Stanford University, where he was soon snatched up by San Francisco-based Occam's Razor, an alternative melodic rock band. After squandering his youth playing the devil's music, James picked up mandolin and rediscovered his Southern roots (and righteousness) frequenting middle Tennessee bluegrass festivals with his father. In addition to his work with The Waybacks, James writes and performs his material solo, plays with Lane and the Badass Chicken Bones, and is occasionally found sitting in with an assortment of Bay Area bands.
