James Reams and the Barnstormers Release One Foot In The Honky Tonk March 22nd

James Reams and the Barnstormers are proud to announce the release of One Foot In The Honky Tonk on Mountain Redbird Music. The project has been shipped and will be in the hands of radio programmers by March 22nd.

A band leader for over 17 years, James Reams has had his feet firmly planted in bluegrass, both figuratively and literally. He was raised in London, Kentucky, not far from where the first ideas and notes of bluegrass were born from the genre's father, Bill Monroe. As a small child, Reams grew up playing bluegrass and old-time music before moving as a teenager to Wisconsin and then to New York City as a young man. During his formative years, Reams held tightly to the music he was raised on, carrying it with him, and eventually starting his own band of musicians, The Barnstormers in 1993.
