Observing Pennys

Story

I'm James ( solo artist ). Band name Observing Penny's from Richmond, ky originally from Winchester, ky. I do all my song's from the heart based how I feel.. I've been playing guitar, drums all of my life my grandfather was a bluegrass artist. I started playing guitar at young age of 10 as well drum's. Then at age of 14 I started playing in rock bands, at 15 I played my first show. I've played festivals, fundraiser's, private parties, outings all this as a drummer, so I figured I would do something alittle different and go solo. Here I am now creating my own style, writing music and released my first song on may 20th. It has been an awesome experience. Thank you. James.
