A Tribute to John Denver
Born in California, James picked up his first guitar at the age of four, after listening to Elvis Presley sing in the movie “Loving You.” Moving to Texas at age 11, he began singing gospel music in church. His professional singing career began as lead singer for a bluegrass group at Dogpatch USA, near Harrison, Arkansas, followed by regular performances at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri.
His career progressed as he shared the stage with established artists as diverse as Dolly Parton, Joan Baez, Rosanne Cash, the Osmond Brothers (including Donnie and Marie), and Larry Gatlin, to name a few.
James spent a number of years touring and recording with the two-time Grammy award winning country group, The Kendalls, best known for the mega-hit “Heaven's Just a Sin Away.” When Jeannie's Father, Royce, passed away in May of 1998, Jeannie asked James to sing lead with her. They toured and recorded as a duo for many years after.
