A musician of many talents, James, is an iconic figure in blues music for over 40 years, is an accomplished blues harpist, singer, front man and bandleader, lending these talents to his own band, The James Montgomery Band, and to countless sessions and tours over the years with the likes of Gregg Allman, Johnny Winter, B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Aerosmith, the Rolling Stones, Joe Cocker, James Brown and so many others it would take two pages to list them all. He’s also hosted his own syndicated blues radio show, interviewing, and playing the music of numerous blues and blues-rock luminaries. This man has stories to tell!
James was inducted in 2018 into the Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame and into the New England Music Hall of Fame in September 2021.
He was also nominated for a Grammy for his outstanding harmonica playing on Johnny Winter’s I’m a Bluesman album, which was nominated for a Grammy in 2004 in the Best Contemporary Blues Album category.
James is also the co-producer and one of the driving forces of a recently released, critically acclaimed documentary on blues harp legend James Cotton entitled Bonnie Blue: James Cotton’s Life in the Blues. Cotton was Montgomery’s mentor and good friend, so James is immensely proud of his involvement in this film.
