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's unique soul rock style takes you on a journey of song through nowhere towns and innocence lost. This passionate singer/songwriter rocks audiences with powerful live shows that serve to showcase his natural talents as a gifted vocalist and performer.
Leif has received special mention by RadioDevil.com for his artistic efforts and dedication to the One World Beat Project in helping to raise awareness and funds for children with HIV/AIDS. Leif has participated in the International AIDS Candlelight Memorial, a program of the Global Health Council and at Chautauqua Music Days to promote Harmony for Humanity in connection with the Annual Daniel Pearl Music Day network of global concerts.
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.
