Dave James

About Me



Origionally from the Indie/Rock capitol of Omaha Nebraska, Indie/Jam Band artist Dave James currently resides in San Francisco. To date Mr. James has two solo albums released; "Slaves to the Parade" in 2005 and "Early Morning Hangover" in 2006.

Dave James has now teamed up with other artists on Grow Records to form a new music project in 2009 working towards a full line-up for live shows in the Bay Area and around NorCal. Later this year will see the release of perhaps a few new singles. Also in the works is a politically charged album "Rubber Bullet," as well as, an indie feeling self entitled album.
