My name is James Crouch, and I am a Florida-based guitarist. My musical specialties are primarily rock and blues, and I have been performing this sort of music live for over four decades. However, my overall repertoire is rather diversified and includes folk, flamenco, metal, and progressive, all of which I have recorded in studios and performed before live audiences. I have been playing in bands since 1981. My first paid/professional gig was when I was 14, in 1971. In the 80's i toured with the oldies acts, The Tokens and and The Dovells. Former members of THE JAMES CROUCH BAND have included Banner Thomas and Dale Rock of Molly Hatchet, Ronnie Byrd Foster of Roy Buchanan, Barry Dean of Brian Auger, Dan Walters of Les Dudek, and Tom Curiale, who is well-noted for his work with Johnny Winter and Rick Derringer, I've also had the honor of opening for countless legends of the music business, such as the Blue Oyster Cult, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Molly Hatchet, Rick Derringer, the Nighthawks, Jimmy Thackery, Brian Howe(formerly of Bad Company), Fran Cosmo(formerly of Boston), and Eddie Money,
