James Harvey, a 38-year-old artist based in the Pottstown area, has an alternative rock and pop with a surprising natural blues talent showcased in his music. His music and personality are up beat, dedicated and passionate. As you listen to his music, you may be surprised to know this talented musician has had no formal training. It is his raw, natural talent that shines. James has paid his dues with secular and Christian bands through the years.

James Harvey is not your common musician. His talents include reading, writing and sequencing music, vocals; as well as, playing the Saxophone, Bass Guitar & Keyboards. The talent you hear so splendidly represented in his music has touched and inspired many people to make comments like, "I had no idea Christian music could sound so good." This by itself speaks volumes about his talent and abilities.

James started singing and playing saxophone at the age of 10. Now, an accomplished musician, he also plays the guitar and keyboards. The deep passion for music doesn't stop there; he sequences, produces and mixes his own music. We have James' mother to thank for nurturing and encouraging his talent as a career. Another support to James, his wife of 18 years, Lynn; although, she is not a musician, her wise counsel and grounded thought are deeply important and influential to James. Son Noah (age 10) and daughter Kelly (age 19) think dad is cool, but to them James is 'just Dad'.

James was raised in a Christian home and was saved at the age of 18; however, feels he was first spiritually awakened at 15 years old. (Which was also the age he first began playing professionally.) He is very open about his spiritual battles in life, and like his favorite apostle Paul, he gets up and just keeps going.

His most treasured scripture… Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and hope."

If you enjoy alternative rock, I can guarantee you will enjoy this artists' present album 'Dawn of a New Day'. Also, look for his new album by 2007. (Freedom Blues is a definite jewel!) If you see him at one of the C.M.N. concerts, stop by and say hello. He is a wonderful conversationalist and reflects the faith and hope of Christ gracefully. For his patience and tolerance of my probing questions, many thanks to James Harvey. It was my great pleasure to interview and learn about such a warm and gracious brother in Christ. We wish you blessings and great success. For more information stop by his site and listen to a few tunes on MySpace…   http://www.myspace.com/thinkof3
