James Wagner

James first expressed himself at an early age. By the time he was a year old, his family nicknamed him "Thumper", because he used to put himself to sleep at night kicking a beat into the wall. At age two, he began formal classical piano lessons with Margaret Wyss. James also studied cello and more music theory with the University of Texas String Project. Starting late in the sixties and continuing the eighties, James provided solo entertainment at favorite haunts like the Quorum Club, Green Pastures and the Headliners Club.

At the same time, he played with different bands, including one with Eric Johnson, a Grammy award winning instrumentalist. James was the original pianist Austin's premier troupe, Ester's Follies, and taught piano for several A.I.S.D. after school programs. James expanded his career to include therapeutic music, which he now provides on a daily basis in senior facilities all over Austin and central Texas. He created two music programs for the senior population now being implemented by health care professionals throughout the U.S. He remains in demand as an accompanist and musical arranger for singers, instrumentalists, and other entertainers, songwriters, churches, care facilities and schools. Today you can hear him play with violin prodigy Damian Green, singer/songwriter Marilisa and the Texas Redemptors, a fun grab-band featuring Texas Music Hall of Famers Tary Owens and Mary Ann Price.
