About Me

James Dalton plays music, he acts and tries to be a writer sometimes. He is also a heck of a croquette player, but whatever... He's been busy lately with his one man show called SHANGHAI TO MEMPHIS, and with getting the Dalton/Feiles Duo ready for the IBC down in Memphis this coming January. Lots of plans are being made, a new agent has been hired, shows being concieved, blogs being published, etc. To get your hands on the new album, "butterflies and passerbys" please check it on Itunes and at www.cdbaby.com/daltonjames. To get your hands on his debut poetry chapbook, check out Blast Press at http://gregglory.com, or email James at [email protected]. There are some great MP3s posted up over at www.jamesdalton.info and for a great compilation of local NJ artists, including one of James's tunes (the title track), look up Upstage Magazine Presents COME BACK TO THE JERSEY SHORE VOLUME 1 at http://cdbaby.com/cd/jerseyshore
