Ian James: News

Song #5 on my debut cd, Bittersweet Betrayal, made a top ten list at the web-site www.indiemusiccdstore.com
The track was the fourth most played song on the site for the month January 2006. Pretty cool.

The site, which is dedicated to promoting independent artists, is one of the places you can purchase the cd, so if you haven't yet, what are you waiting for?

Two songs from the W.F.R.B. Vol1 Album have been on Australia's air-waves for thirteen straight weeks, dating back to November 2005.

The station (ILR) has been playing "Time (keeps slipping away)" and "Disappear" in their breaking pop program. You can check out the site/and show at the radio link for ILR in my links page.

"World-Funk-Rhythm&Blues Vol.1" can now be purchased through Bestbuy.com

Just click the "Buy" button on my site, and then click the BestBuy.com link.

In the search field, type Ian James and you're ready to purchase.

I'll be heading out to LA this weekend to attend the invitation only Taxi Road Rally. Held at the Renaissance of Hollywood Hotel, where the guests of the Academy Awards stay. Maybe bump into Johnny Depp at the Viper Room, or see Tony Danza beat up a photographer, either way it should be a good time full of music, education, promotion, networking, partying and friend making. Talk to ya when I get back.

I'm excited to announce that the song Time (keeps Slipping Away) was used by one of Bostons biggest marketing firms Silverscape, for their most recent marketing CD-ROM.

Time was included along with eleven other songs by great new bands & musicians from the east coast.

The CD-ROM which is mutli purpose, displays Silverscapes latest projects and services while providing background music to the viewer. The CD-ROM can also be treated as compilation cd, introducing the music of the tweleve artists along with a beautiful layout, which includes a picture of the band, and a direct link to the groups web-site.

A very creative idea, and it shows just why Boston Business Journal ranked them among the best in Boston!

Thanks Silverscape for marketing me while marketing yourselves. Its genius!

New Song....or rather old song. Recorded in legendary West Sound Studios in 1998 as part of the Shades of Mood reording sessions. Previously un-released track. Enjoy.

More stores are now carrying the debut CD. Bull Moose Music in Portsmouth and Salem NH are now carrying the disc!!

Support Local, Independent Music!!

The new CD is now available at Tune Town in Tewksbury MA. located on Rte. 38. You can purchase it there for the low price of $6.99

More stores will be added in the very near future!

The release of the cd in stores has been delayed. The disc is available on-line through the site and towerrecords.com but its uncertain now when the discs will make it into Newbury Comics. There is a possibility the disc may be on shelves at Bullmoose Records within a couple of weeks. Updates will be posted when the discs hit the shelves.

Hey there, I'm currently recruiting band members to join me for live performances. Needed are a drummer or programmer, guitarist who will share lead and bass duties with me, and an accomplished keyboard player.

As all of the instruments on my recordings are performed by me, how on earth can I perform live without a band? If interested drop me an e-mail.

Thanks!

If you haven't already noticed the new "music" button on the site, click it to hear three samples from the album, coming out next month.

I'll be updating this part of the site each month with a new unreleased song in its entirety for download.
