"Jim St. James"

“In a world obsessed with eclectic Americana, St. James’ traditional take on songwriting makes him unique, and he has a versatile repertoire that trips across the genre. He has upbeat, old school rock numbers such as “Talk to Me” and heartfelt numbers such as “My Guitar.””
- Stephan Centanni, Lagniappe (May 28, 2014) - Lagniappe (May 28, 2014)


"Jim St. James"

“Legend is romantically kind to the nomadic troubadour who packs his guitar, leaves 9-to-5 society behind and heads out on the road to play his music for anybody and everybody along the way who stops to listen.”
- Jeff Harrell, South Bend Tribune (Apr 24, 2014) - South Bend Tribune (Apr 24, 2014)


"Jim St. James"

“Brand new Christmas song just in time for the holidays from Jim St. James. 'Christmas Day' is not the average Christmas song.. With a catchy upbeat rhythm and a VERY positive message, this Holiday song is a tune that can be played throughout the year.”
- CdBaby Song Review, CdBaby (Nov 30, 2011) - CdBaby (Nov 30, 2011)


"Jim St. James by Jeff Harrell"

“He launches into an original song, gliding into lyrics in a voice that first hits the ear as a blend of Jimmy Buffett and Jim Croce — something about those Jimmys and Jims for this St. James — before shifting into cruise control with his own homey campfire-side tenor. His fingers strum chords on strings between palm-thumps on the guitar’s wooden body, keeping impeccable time like a muted conga.”
- Jeff Harrell, South Bend Tribune (Apr 24, 2014) - South Bend Tribune (Apr 24, 2014)


"Guitar Man X 2"

St. James got started with his solo career at the age of 19 and was already penning his ideas into original songs several years earlier. Saul describes him as one of the most prolific songwriters he's ever heard.

Though both Saul and St. James enjoy independant careers as performing singer songwriters, the Crossfire percussive duet is something they both enjoy doing whether in front of an audience or on the tour bus, as it's something refreshing, new and formerly unheard of. "It's alot of fun to work with," says St. James.

Early next year the duo will release an album and DVD as Crossfire, a moniker they coined only last August. Work on both projects is ongoing, as schedules allow.

Once recording of their individual and collective works is complete, St. James hopes to take their combined total package on the road and stay there. "The ultimate goal," he says, "is to stay on the road as much as possible. I'd like to see us performing 250 shows per year."

"Music is our passion and when we're out performing we're in the moment of what our passion is all about."
