"So where have they been hiding James Lee Stanley? We could say that James Lee Stanley is probably the last great undiscovered singer-songwriter in America. But true as that may be let's say something else, let's say that a diamond has been smuggled into the wasteland…and here is where the wasteland ends" - Tom Robbins, Author of Even Cowgirls Get the Blues

It is only a long lived singer-songwriter career that lets JAMES LEE STANLEY unite the unpredictable creativity and the eclectic elements that make up his world. His remarkable ability as a vocalist and composer allow him to create songs, each recorded with a finely crafted backing that sonically enhance the impulse behind the lyric. But a whole new dimension is added when James Lee performs live.

These incredible songs, coupled with his outragously hilarious repartee, make for an evening of hilarity and tenderness. He is one of the few all time greats and undisputed geniuses among singer-songwriters. Fi Magazine listed his FREELANCE HUMAN BEING as one of the finest recordings of 1998 and one of the Top 200 Recordings of all time - FI Magazine March 1999.

JAMES LEE STANLEY, began recording at 14 for LeGrand Records. Born into a musical family, he also majored in music at Cal State University. With twenty albums to his credit, he has produced an extraordinary body of work. And he's been quite the road dog, performing three hundred dates a year with such diverse acts as BONNIE RAITT, ROBIN WILLIAMS, CHICK COREA & RETURN TO FOREVER and BILL COSBY by the time he landed his second recording contract.

James ... That Spacey Guy! As the story goes, a few years ago James was attending a party to which some of the people who put together Star Trek: Deep Space 9 were also invited. Being quite the science fiction fan himself, James spoke to the producer and asked half-kiddingly, "So, who do I have to kill ... and I don't mean kill ... to get a part on the show?" Well, a few weeks later ... voila! ... James the Space Cadet!
