Jim James and the Damn Shames
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. The core trio is accentuated live by the vintage tones and tasty licks of Madison stalwart Tim Haub. Working over the frets on guitar, mandolin, and lap-steel; Mr. Haub puts the final layer of icing on this rockabilly cupcake.
