Crouch is a forceful guitar man that has his chops down, at times he rips off some impressive licks reminiscent of Clapton or Stevie Ray.

Meet the man, James Crouch that has been likened to legendary guitarists such as Eric Clapton, BB King, Jimi Hendrix, and Carlos Santana. Crouch is deemed as one of the most versatile musicians, being able to vary his talents from lighting up the electric guitar, to pulling it down to produce gentle solos. These accolades did not come without merit, as Crouch has been playing guitar professionally for over 30 years now, and has not shown any signs of letting up.
Crouch is a seasoned musician, and has learned everything about the music industry on his own. He hails from upstate New York, but has lived and performed all over the country. Florida is currently his home, and is also the region in which he plays a large majority of his shows.

His 1997 CD, Jim Crouch--So Far, won seven American Society of Composer, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) awards. He has performed in Europe at a medieval castle in Tuscany, Italy, as well as at venues across the nation. His versatility is again displayed in the variety of his audiences showing the diversity of his musical ability.
