Show Details

Hey again folks!

Like I said, I am playing a benefit show on Saturday, May 17 at the Castlewoods Country Club. Here is a bit of info that I really hope you'd prayerfully consider:

The benefit concert is for the Lukemia Lymphoma Society. From what I understand, they are requesting $50 a ticket. This gets you into the event, food, drink, and a few bands (including myself) will be playing raising money to help find a cure for these horrible and life taking diseases.

If you cannot pay $50, contact me and I will see what I can do.

I will post further on this later when I am not scrambled in papers. If you have any questions comment me and I will get back to you.

Its official.

This is going to be the new home for any news related to my music, life, and everything inbetween. So stick around and join the crazy ride. I'm glad to have you guys stick around :)

Last night was a good friends birthday party, we celebrated at Old Venice. If you frequent Jackson often, I think it is one of Jackson's best kept secrets. If you want some of the best tasting pizza in your life, then I highy sugget it to you. Tell them that James Davis sent you!

For those that are interested I am playing a show on Saturday, May 17th at Castlewoods Country Club in Flowood, MS. It should be a fun night. If you want to hear me play some 70s and 80s music (as well as some of my own) then this is going to be a night not worth passing up.

If you are interested in booking me for a show this summer (no size too small) then please contact me at music785@bellsouth.net for solo bookings. If you are interested in hearing some of my music, you can check out my single at www.myspace.com/jamesdavismusic. Also, (gosh I feel like a talking billboard) if you are interested in some of my photography, I gladly have some for sale and I will gladly come and shoot photos for you! you can check those out at http://www.flickr.com/photos/jamesdavis/show/

If you want more information about the upcoming show, contact me at the address above, I look forward to hearing from all of you.

Ahh what a show

So I played a small "coffeehouse" show tonight at Riverwood Bible Church in Jackson tonight, and it was basically amazing. It was a laid back atmosphere, filled with lots of great music, art, poetry, and a lot of friendly and familiar faces. I hope we get to do this sort of thing again very soon.

A great bonus (for me) was getting to play along side a guy and fellow guitar player in my youth group. We started the night singing Third Day's "I've always loved you" which I think was a fitting way to start the night. Then a few acts later we came back and played "On Jordan's Stormy Banks I Stand" which, I will admit, I stopped halfway through the song because I forgot the third verse, thankfully we are under grace, and we were able to get right back into it without a whole lot of awkwardness.

The last song of the night the youth group played a song collectively, and I jumped it in the last second and played some electric guitar behind everybody else. I think that was my favorite part of the night. As much as I love singing, it is always just as much fun for me to stay in the background and jam with an electric guitar in hand. You can never go wrong with that.

Thats all for now. I must get some sleep.

PS - a very special thank you goes out to Katey Barlow, Brett, Cade, and their mom and dad for letting me come over and hang out. I'm sorry if we got loud, and I hope your finger gets better.

I so should be studying right now...

I cannot help myself, but I have grown an obsession to Guitar Hero III for the Nintendo Wii. If you have not played this game, believe me after a few blazing solos you will become instantly hooked on this game. You will hear yourself saying: "I have time for one more song until I have to hit the books", until you realize "one more song" has mysteriously turned into two hours and countless of songs later. This was not a big deal, until you suddenly remember you have a test coming up you have not studied for, and that if the test was in mastering Guitar Hero III you would without a doubt get an A, but the test is in computer science, something that you are secretly dreading inside, and you have three programs that have yet to be written that are due tomorrow. Whats a guy suppost to do in this messed up scenerio?

Go back and play more guitar hero.
Will the madness ever cease?
It's my turn, I guess we'll find out!

Keep It Simple Online Now! // Valentines Day

http://www.myspace.com/jamesdavismusic

The following link will send you to my single on myspace.

I've been writing a lot of new music over the past several days. Valentines day always seems to bring the sappy love songs out of me. I've shown these songs to a few of my closest friends, and when they ask the pressing question "So, who are these songs about?" I chuckle when I tell them they are about no one, but more about my thoughts and dreams about what love really is.

I really hope to buy my home studio gear soon so I can continue the recording process. It is currently at a stand still because my schedule and my producers schedule just do not meet together in any shape form or fashion, which is quite unfortunate.

Going back to Valentines day, I really got to spend this Valentines day and watch some of my closest friends whom are in relationships, and see how they spent their day, running around trying to make sure they have "the perfect" gift/card/etc. to express how they really feel for their significant others, and it is a beautiful comedy, it really is.

I'll post more about these new songs in the coming days, off to study!

The first of many

Hello Blogger-ites! For those browsing by, thank a bunch! Please leave a comment and I will try my gosh-darn-bestest to do the same.

Allow me to introduce myself, if I may.

I am James Davis, a 22 year old college student at Mississippi College in Clinton, MS. I am majoring in Christian Studies with the hopes of becoming a youth pastor. I am also an avid muscian and songwriter. I have the greatest group of friends any guy could ask for. I am also a guitar geek. My '82 Fender Tele and my Alverez "yes, I am Johnny Cash" black acoustic guitar never leave my side, yet my school books tend to.

I am currently recording my debut CD/EP. Whenever I get bits and peices I will post them here for opinions :)

Til we meet again
