James Apollo
A Tumbleweed. A hapless dreamer. A savage purveyor of roots-rocknroll revelery. James Apollo is the drifting soul that has been swindling the stout hearted compendium of urban hipsters and farmer's daughters for years.

Born in Libertyville, Arkansas, then home of a US Post Office and a bar, and currently home of a bar, the Apollo household soon transferred hometown to the Great Northland, Minnesota, Minneapolis, a burgeoning threshold of musical eccentricity that has launched some of the nations finest musical artists.

Lighting out for the road at legal driving age, James refused the ties of the respectable citizen. Move in, rock out, move on. The experiences have lent all the knowledge of an aging hobo, with all the grace of a slow dance with Fred and Ginger.

It's this jumbled road debauchery that lights up in Apollo's songs, the broke down tales of life among those whose life is none of your business, whispering just enough of what you don't know, to remind you of what you do.

A rootsy concoction of sweet pop and lonesome highway blues that anyone with a bruised soul can identify with
Colorado Springs Independent

It makes the hairs on my arms stand up and tango
Jason Mraz

This album came from the bottom of a whiskey glass in a smoky bar, from staring at dusty shoes at the end of yet another gig, from travelling and touring relentlessly across America's great plains... This is the year of the one-man band, and this is your man.

Apollo does succeed at keeping listeners on their toes. "Crawl When You Come Down," moves back and forth from caressing croons to moments of intense frenzy, where the entire band pounds at its instruments like toddlers who just discovered the pots in the kitchen.
Minnesota Daily

A renegade Everley brother with a taste for Mexicana, providing his own accompaniment with cork heels on a hollow stage, taking histrionic kicks at a catskin tambourine. It is therefore fortunate that James Apollo's songs can easily withstand his entertaining but slighly affected pantomime on stage.

Apollo's mission to spread the word
James's music quenches the thirst of Generation X-ers longing for straight up roots and blues.

One for the road
A rootsier rock that tells of broken hearts and despair.
