The James Pace Band has toured or shared a stage with Jeff Healey, Los Lonely Boys, Chris Duarte, Savoy Brown, JD Simo, Philip Sayce, Anna Popovic, King’s X, Toots & the Maytals.
What’s Been Said About the James Pace Band
“Touch The Sky is a track of pure powerhouse sound, starting with a rambunctious intro and a rhythmic beat. The rock-steady sound pulls you in and has that sweet Wah Pedal muse that harkens back to the Rock & Roll heyday. The vocals shine throughout and the melody is non-stop beauty. Touch The Sky is a masterpiece and triumph.” – INDIE PULSE MUSIC
“The James Pace Band is one of the brightest stars on the Blues Highway. They’re a bit of a throwback to blues/classic rock. Their style and tone is defined because of their appreciation for roots music. A blind man could see, the future is bright for the James Pace Band. That’s a fact.” – BLUES HIGHWAY US 61
“Hey man, James Pace is a killer!” – GUITAR RADIO SHOW
