Jim St. James

"HE LAUNCHES INTO AN ORIGINAL SONG. HIS FINGERS STRUM CHORDS BETWEEN PALM-THUMPS ON THE GUITAR’S WOODEN BODY, KEEPING IMPECCABLE TIME LIKE A MUTED CONGA"

*JEFF HARRELL SOUTH BEND TRIBUNE


Jim St. James is an American songwriter, singer and guitarist born in Gary, Indiana.



He’s appeared at the prestigious Frank Brown International Songwriter’s Festival along the gulf coast 21 years total with additional appearances at various festivals and songwriter gatherings around the United States. St. James charted on the Roots Music Report charts twice in his career, once at #1 for his song ‘Caroline’ which remained there for two weeks. An original composition about the life of aviatrix Amelia Earhart was featured on the official website of the famous pilot for several years. His songs have been included in Broadway musical scores as well as having been recorded by up and coming Nashville hopefuls on their debut releases. In 2017 his song ‘Throw that Needle Down’ (based on the opioid crisis) received a Los Angeles industry award for best Americana video of September 2017. St. James is a member of the Americana Music Association and is a BMI writer with an extensive catalog in the folk, blues, and Americana genres. His strong, clear vocals are admired by many, as are his various unorthodox guitar playing styles. Performing alongside Jim is Dean Rouch on fiddle and Frank Tunk on keyboards.

"St. James skillfully mingles various elements of Americana. His songs are a perfect blend of folk and country. This blend gives St. James’ songs an eclectic nature that is truly unique"
