I started a quest to find terrific blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment. One of my greatest joys all of my life was sharing my finds with my friends. I'm now publishing my journey. I hope that you come along!

Hammerhead - T.A. James
Born in Syracuse NY at a relatively young age, T.A. James is
a blues guitarist/bassist with a 20+ year career. In ’90, he
joined premier Salt City blues outfit, The Kingsnakes as
guitarist, which traveled the East Coast and as far west as
Mississippi. In ’95, James got the call to do a weekend of
Canadian dates on bass with the late great Chicago blues
harp legend Carey Bell, which turned into an 8 year
association. This version of Carey’s band toured much of the
US, Europe and Japan. In addition, he was a successful
freelance guitarist/bassist in the Syracuse blues scene and
elsewhere between ’92 and ’04.
Durham NC became James' home in ’05. Since ’07, he has been performing primarily as bassist with
the red hot Zydeco-Cajun flavored blues quartet Mel Melton & The Wicked Mojos. When not
performing with the ‘Mojos, James does freelance work with other NC blues standouts such as Tad
Walters and Pat “Mother Blues” Cohen, as well as performing as a solo. As a solo, he recently
competed in the ‘012 International Blues Challenge and the ‘011 Piedmont Blues Preservation
Society Solo/Duo Blues Challenge (having won the latter).
