Fargo James + Musician in Fargo, ND

ABOUT

I love playing rock, southern rock, classic rock and a bit of jazz but spend the most of my "gig" time playing contemporary Christian and worship music. In 2018 alone, I played over 200 different songs live! Believe me, being on worship bands week to week is no easy task.

I'm humble and get along well with others.

I have been playing on worship teams for about 25 years now, and have lead or have been on a team at various churches and venues/concerts/productions as well:
- Triumph LBC, Fargo & Moorhead
- Salem E-Free Church, Fargo & Moorhead
- Valley Christian Church, Moorhead
- Bethel E-Free Church, Fargo
- Hope Lutheran Church, Fargo
- Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Fargo
- University Lutheran Center, Fargo
- Peace Lutheran Church, Fargo
- Our Savior's Lutheran Church, Moorhead
- Cornerstone Ministries, downtown Fargo
- Glad Tidings Assembly, West Fargo
- Morris Community Church
- Inter-varsity Christian Fellowship, UMM
+numerous other venues, concerts, productions
