White Boy James & The Blues Express

JAMES PAGE, born in Compton CA and raised in South Los Angeles, first was exposed to American Music – from
hillbilly to jump blues, country blues to swing – from his Uncle Ed Tunks’ wide collection of 78 records. A born
performer, he practiced his music show in front of the bedroom mirror from a young age, entertaining his family and
friends with his naturally strong vocals and undeniable charisma. Jump forward to high school, where James had become the theater department’s “local legend” as well as a feared member of the school’s football team.
One afternoon at football practice, young James heard music in the distance. He ditched practice, jumped the fence, and slipped into an auditorium where he came for the first time upon The Blasters hammering out a live music show.
