About this Event
James Lee Stanley has released 37 CDs, all of which have received brilliant reviews. The latest, released to radio late October 2024, is The Day Today, a perspicacious and insightful look at our world today.
James was recently the subject of an award-winning documentary, The Opening Act. Check out the trailer here: https://theopeningact.org/trailer. The documentary has gained over 30 awards, including Best Documentary and Best Soundtrack. The luminaries who sing his praises in the documentary include Steven Wright, Timothy B Schmit (Eagles), and John Densmore (The Doors).
His CDs all include contributions by rock and jazz royalty including Larry Carlton, Paul Barrere (Little Feat), Laurence Juber (Wings), Peter Tork (Monkees), John Densmore and Robby Krieger (The Doors), Russ Kunkel (everybody), Robben Ford, Bonnie Raitt, Sheila E., Nicolette Larson, Stephen Bishop, and Timothy B Schmit (Eagles). The list is incredible. All a testament to the regard with which these world famous musicians hold James.
As the Village Voice says, "With James Lee Stanley you get it all." Brilliant songs, amazing vocals and stunning guitar. Not to mention the comedy that spontaneously streams out of his live performances. He will be on! You come too!
