I’ve seen James around Rhode Island for years and he’s always been a crowd favorite.
He was kind enough to perform at my wedding and, as usual, was great. He is an amazing reader of a crowd’s mood and played a perfect mix of songs to make everyone happy.
He made a point to make sure that he catered to our wishes and picked songs that my fiancee and I liked. James is a great musician and an even nicer guy.

"The most interactive act we have at our beachfront venue."
On a last minute, I contacted James after remember seeing him play at Garden City over the holidays and extremely happy about the entire engagement from the very start. Not only a great musician but super person on all accounts. We had him play at our daughter’s dual graduation party this past weekend in the backyard and I’m still getting rave compliments about his wide range of music and capabilities from all who attended... it was a pleasure having him part of such a special family occasion at my home!!!

Enjoyed Happy Hour at the bar at The Hard Rock Cafe @ Foxwoods and had the bonus of getting to hear the amazing James Grande live for the first time!
His covers are SO GOOD! We stayed and had more drinks than planned to enjoy more of James's music! He is such a great artist, we will be checking to see where else he will be playing for sure!

Great performance at The Hotel Viking in Newport. The few songs I got to hear (by chance on my way out) made a last minute glass of Sangria and snack a perfect way to enjoy Newport and "get away". Soulful and mellow and also upbeat. Look forward to hearing James again when he plays in the Boston area.
