Details:
Ed James...just a guy on a mission to write the perfect song. After earning a degree in music, Ed relocated to North Carolina, where he has written and recorded several albums worth of original power pop/rock songs, many of which have been featured on CD compilations, including International Pop Overthrow Vols. 3 and 5 (Not Lame Records), The Bam Balam Explosion IV USA Power Pop Compilation (Bam Balam Records), Pop Under The Surface (Yesterday Girl Records), Browser Barbarians (DMR Diversions), Unsound Series Volume 1: Pop! (To M'Lou Music), and Burnt Marshmallows & Teeny Bikinis (Optional Art).

Ed has also contributed tracks to several tribute CDs, including I Love Sparkle*Jets U.K. (Crab Apple Records), A Tribute To The Left Banke (Brobdingnagian Records), Are You Ready Steve? - A Tribute To Sweet (Bullseye Records), and recent George Harrison and Gene Pitney tribute discs.

In 1999, Jam Records released Meet Ed James...the very first solo CD by Ed James. The collection was a hit with pop critics and fans, and was recently re-released (with bonus tracks) by Japanese label Air Mail Recordings. The original pressing of Meet Ed James is nearly out of print.

And now, Ed is happy to announce Poprocket, his brand-new Jam Records CD, featuring 12 diverse power pop tunes, displaying Ed's growth as an artist, both musically and lyrically. From the Who-inspired "C'mon C'mon", to the Beatlesque "Sister Blue", to the garage-romp "Trippin' On Your Love", Poprocket is serious fun...rocking, melodic, thought-provoking, silly, and just pure Ed James.

Ed has performed at International Pop Overthrow music festivals in Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago, as well as Sparklefest, a Chapel Hill, NC-based power pop event.
