About Me

James Bent has been playing all types of music for as long as he can remember. He'll tell you he's 100 years old but he isn't even close! He has been playing music since he was 7 years old! He knows how to keep a captive audience and won't let you down.
James does various vocals, bass guitar, and guitar work for commercials such as Verizon, PBS, NEC Computer, and session work for multiple R&B, Latin, Jazz, Rock, Funk, Metal, Hawaiian, Tahitian and Hip Hop artists. James is mutli-talented; the instruments he plays are: Drums, Bass, Guitar, Keyboard, Ukelele, and lead/background vocals. Because he plays five different instruments, he is always in high demand.
James is also available for corporate functions. Here is a list of previous corporations he has worked with: click here .
For everyone who's been asking when James' next CD is coming out, the word is it should be released in the May of 2009!
