Picardy III

James has led a relatively quiet life in the music industry. Content with connecting with people, he has shared the stage with many of his friends and plenty of strangers. Whether James plays solo, or is backed by a barrage of talented musicians, the experience of Picardy III is a moving and honest folk journey. Some of Picardy's musical influences include but aren't limited to: Led Zepplin, Radiohead, Johnny Cash, Ryan Adams, U2, Ray Lamontagne, Damien Rice, Iron & Wine, and Queen. You may find other bands that are just as talented and just as willing, but you'll be hard pressed to find any that are as honest with their fans and themselves. James has been playing music since elementary school and writing since he can remember. Once he picked up a guitar, it all came together and just made sense. Since the turn of the millennium he has joined forces with numerous musicians to form Picardy III and has been pumping out songs that will speak to just about any person or situation existing in our world today. his name is actually james. he lives in austin, tx. he hopes you like his music.
