James Lee Stanley is someone who plays and sings to you as if he were telling a story to his lifelong best friend. He takes you in as one of his own family with every song, every story and every smile. James is an accomplished and tasteful guitarist, an insightful songwriter and a superb storyteller; a modern day troubadour, if you will.

Music is the language of the soul and of passion, and James 'speaks' it fluently, uniting folks from all beliefs and all stations in life as one family in such a way that is truly rare in this day and age. Anyone who has a love of good music should have a collection of James' work. Once you've heard him you will want to see him - and once you've seen him you'll want a copy of everything he's ever done - and more. There is no doubt.

James Lee Stanley is a self-perpetuating phenomenon known as a "Freelance Human Being".

In the Words of Others:

"The show was stolen by the opening act - James Lee Stanley - Stanley held the attention of the audience from the beginning of his set to the end. His music has a mellow James Taylorish quality. A solo performer, Stanley drew overwhelming applause for his outrageous monologue as well as his music." -The Daily Aztec, San Diego

"His comedy and songs won the hearts of the 6,000 in attendance and brought them to their feet in an ovation that brought him back for two encore numbers." -the Daily Universe, Provo, Utah

"This man is a great artist – his songs are finely-crafted and richly textured, with immediately memorable melodies and thought provoking lyrics, and his guitar playing is simply gorgeous, alternating between subtle finger picking. Lush chording, stark simplicity, rhythmically-charged complexity, and many and varied shades in between." -FI - The Magazine of Music and Sound

"…it was accompanied … by a genuinely spirited, spontaneous standing ovation. Yikes! An honest encore call. Politicians could learn something from James Lee Stanley about peaking. He hit it right, this very talented performer." -The Humboldt Beacon,Fortuna, California

"In concert with Michael Murphey, the unexpected delight of the concert was the opening solo performance … James Lee Stanley … Stanley drew the kind of ovations not usually accorded to a performer who depends entirely on his voice, guitar and some well placed jokes." -St. Louis Post-Dispatch
