Jim James & the Damn Shames are a Madison, WI, based trio who sound like they just rolled into town off the hot dusty trails of West Texas. While performing, JJDS mix the Honky Tonk swagger and sun-drenched sounds of their myriad influences into a unique and organic original sound. Whether it be a rollicking train tune or a rolling river song the rhythm section of Brian Bentley (drums) and Jeff Hammes (upright bass) stand tight behind singer/songwriter/harmonica/guitarist James Travis.
The group wasa nominee for the Madison WI Area Music Awards -- for best Americana Album and Best Americana Artist.
