The best kept secret in music
Press
"Next up was James and the Devil over at Cervante’s. The Denver based favorite, JAD brought out quite a few peeps with an assist from the later time slot. James and The Devil gave us some sick jams laced with contagious energy. Their lively stage presence compliments their rowdy acoustic sound. Their set was one of my favorites from the night as they are just so much fun. "

Bio
When J & The D first got together, everybody met through networking through prior bands:
Dave Ross rocked a funky bluegrass style, Matt Stoner enjoyed heavy metal, Adam Carpenter rocked out jazz fusion, Jim Campbell played folk-rock, singer-songwriter-storyteller music and Matt Spinks rocked the quick country and blues style.
After our first year of playing together we developed a strong chemistry, realizing the root of our music was a common interest in rock music and performance. We also saw the importance of variety for expression and showmanship purposes.
The short story would be that James and The Devil tours the Rocky Mountains from north to south with a base in Denver. We camp whenever we can racking up over 35 days under the stars in 2008. We play as long as we can, we get involved with the local scene, and actively promote with a good cause. We play for every demograph, old and young. Were made up of dreamers, beer drinkers, thinkers, and smokers. Were happiest playing music while uniting people.
We are going into the studio Jan '09 and hope to have a full-length album done by sping, but we will still be playing around the midwest so come check out a show and party with us!!
