Bio / Background
"Jim James & The Damn Shames," both the album and the band, have been honored by their cohorts in the 2005 Madison Area Music Awards (Madison, Wisc.). The album was nominated in the "Americana: Best Album" category and the band in the "Americana: Best Artist" category. Enthusiastic reviews for both the album and live shows continue to be published as the band continues to work on improving their already solid set with new sounds.
Singer/Songwriter James Travis has been developing his unique rootsy style since moving to Madison, Wisc. from Tucson, Ariz. in the late 90's. A dynamic and nuanced singer, guitarist and rootin' tootin' harmonica player, James writes all of the original material the band performs live.
The excellent rhythm section is Brian Bentley on drums and Jeff Hammes on acoustic upright bass. The experience and sonic bond held between these players provides one of the tightest sounds in the region.
