James has quietly traversed the planet since 1965, performing for rapt audiences of all ages in all 50 states and 45 countries throughout the Americas, Europe, Scandinavia, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, in Russia, Azerbaijan, Japan, Korea and most recently, several times in India and Israel. He draws from a rich and ever-evolving repertoire of distinctive original and gathered songs in more than two dozen languages that reflect a global perspective and underscore the interconnectedness we share with all of life. With more than a dozen recordings to his credit, he engages each disparate audience in a participatory journey distilled from his travels, bringing us closer to our world and each other.
