About Me

Welcome to the official MySpace page for James Paul Lynch. James was born in Chicago to a musician father and amatuer model/muse mother. Half Irish and half Sicilian he grew up on the city streets nursed almost literally on blues and rock and roll. He grew up loving the music of Elvis Presley and The Beatles. James has decided to make music his life and pays tribute to his musical heroes and influences regularly. Both in his songwriting and performance you can see the impact those influences have had on his life and work. Please check back for details and performance dates. You can see James portray George Harrison in the newest tribute phenomenon to hit the "Beatles scene", "The Cavern Beat". Also watch for James’ haunting John Lennon tribute with his other band, "Strawberry Fields Forever". James will be releasing an original album this year and hopes to be playing some limited engagments with his original band. One of the hardest working unknowns in the business, you NEVER know where you may see or hear him next. www.thecavernbeat.com www.strawberryfieldsforeverband.comFree MySpace Layouts by Iron Spider
