From blues guitarist to folk singer, James Kole combines the best elements from both.  Rockin' the stage with a force like thunder, James Kole’s musical talent is mesmerizing, and his energetic aura commanding. A singer/songwriter from Scottsdale, Arizona, Kole has impressed audiences throughout Arizona with his unique blend of blues, rockabilly and American folk, earning him the title “Local Legend” in the 2008 edition of Perfectify Magazine. Outside the local scene, his music has a long list of film and television credits, including projects for Miramax, HBO, Washington Square Films, MTV, PBS and even Red Bull energy drinks. In 2003, Kole was awarded the Best Original Song at the Saguaro Film Festival for his hit, “Big Orange Sun.” ~ Entertainment Solutions
