“When a nearby workshop stage requested that James turn down his sound, James responded quickly & amicably. In addition, he did so in a way that his stage still sounded great for his audience. James was a pleasure to work with & I will be calling on him again.”-Cloud Moss, Founding Partner-Back Roads Prod. (Kate Wolf Music & Gaia Festivals) |
