James has a beautiful voice and is an excellent musician. In addition, he is a very good performer and was able to handle an event where the group was oriented to socializing- a very difficult thing for a great musician to do. He was friendly, a pleasure to work with, was set up ahead of schedule, and played continuously for the full scheduled time. During the event, numerous people came up to me and asked "Where did you find him? He is great!" James really set the tone for a lovely experience. He also has a wonderful and flexible repertoire.
Response from James Lanman Music:
Thanks so much for your kind words, Emanuel. You guys were a great crowd and I had a great time. Cheers!
James played an intimate show at our family's beach house and it was such a wonderful night. Not only does he have the dreamiest voice and plays amazing songs, he really connects with his audiences. He dedicated songs, sung covers that the crowd wanted to hear, and had awesome stories and banter in between his songs. He is also an exceptional song writer and his original hits are creative and beautiful. Everyone was buzzing!! Will absolutely love to welcome him back!!

He has been featured in festivals from SXSW to CMJ, performed originals and covers backed by The Seattle Rock Orchestra in the Moore Theater and starred in a Scandinavian insurance commercial generating a sizable following across the Atlantic.
