| Homepage for: James Patterson, Solo Artist Supreme Court Decision Dance Band CrossTronic Christian Techno Project  | From background dinner music to high-energy dance sets, James Patterson gets the job done. His music is quite versatile, encompassing “baby-boomer” Top 40/classic rock, country-western, and big band standards, with equal effectiveness. The act includes guitar, bass, and harmonica. Depending on the event, the music could be strictly acoustic or supplemented with backing tracks. With many years of musical experience, he knows how to read a crowd and how to match the material and the sound level to the mood of the moment. Inappropriate volume level is never a problem, as James understands that there are times when musicians should "lay back," as well as occasions when the party is ready for the entertainment to "take charge." James also provides popular music on .mp3 or CD during breaks or before playing hours. He has always enjoyed excellent professional relationships with club and ballroom managers, hosts, brides (and their mothers), and entertainment directors. Additional musicians from James' full band, the SUPREME COURT DECISION, are available for when the occasion calls for a larger group. Discuss pricing and availability with the booking agent that referred you to this site, or contact James directly, if you are not using an agent.
James Patterson is a former member of the Cavaliers, the group that had several nation‑wide hits including "Last Kiss." He has also has performed in Asia with a U.S.O. tour, and has entertained aboard cruise ships, at numerous country clubs, wedding receptions, music festivals, and churches. During his "techno" period, James wrote and recorded 2 Christian Techno CDs as the CrossTronic Project: Put on the Armor of God and Eternity. With the Supreme Court Decision Band, he is featured on the Casebook album. His solo album is 5 Decades. Most recently, James contributed a song ("Please Come Home for Christmas") to the Strike the Harp Christmas CD, which features autoharp music from players around the world.
