Biography
Ed James is an American guitarist and singer-songwriter playing bubblegum pop influenced power pop music inspired by exuberant, good-time oldies artists such as The Monkees and The Beatles. He has been featured on a bunch of indie music compilation and tribute CDs as well as four full-fledged solo albums to his own credit. He's perhaps best known for 2003's 'Poprocket', a release that the All Music Guide praised as having an "air of instant gratification" since James' "joy is pretty darn addicting".
