When asked to name his main musical influences, Leif James will talk of his love for the sublime styling and passion of Ben Harper or the unconventional and compelling compositions of Tom Waits, the imrovisational breakthroughs of Jerry Garcia, the surreal and impeccable timing of David Gray, the insatiable grooves of Karl Denson and the word-smithing of the late Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, and of course, Bob Dylan. But what he hears most when listening to his favorite artists is play from the heart!

Leif James is a musician in the grand tradition of the great travelling balladeers and whistlestop artists. He began his storied career cutting his teeth on the streets of cities across America traveling the open road with his guitar. Now after a recent stint on the East Coast, Leif is back out west in Bend, Oregon dazzling audiences with his soulful blend of voice and guitar.
