 Mike James is an enigma among musicians; a true "do-it-yourselfer" who writes, engineers and performs all instrumentation, and produces his music straight from the gut. His songs and lyrics are insightful, quirky, and offer many uncommon textures and twists.
Playing guitar since the age of seven, Mike's had extensive experience in professional music production as well as live performance. He has shared the stage with such luminaries as flugelhorn great Louis Gaska (Santana) and organ virtuoso Joey DeFrancesco (Danny Gatton, John McLaughlin), and has opened for The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Matt "Guitar" Murphy, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Ty Herndon, The Stylistics, Commander Cody, The Cherry Poppin' Daddies and Buddy Guy among others.

Tinkling Bernice
- "Eclectic and original....a virtual grab-bag of funky, humorous, and deeply human compositions." -Michael Boge, KPND Radio
- "His melodies are infectious, floating around my mind long after listening....take it home, turn it up."-Shelly Dunn, KGB Radio
- "This guy sounds like Bruce Hornsby doing a pretty good imitation of Springsteen. Or is it Donald Fagen doing Sean Mullins? Its a bit freaky and so are his lyrics, but this is an incredibly well-crafted and seamlessly produced CD. James has a strong sense of whimsy and a funky rythmic style that is both fun and captivating." -Rob Dunne, Minor 7th Magazine, July-August, 2003
