Native Chicagoan and current Nashville resident James Farrell is your typical singer/songwriter: He's hyper-sensitive, prone to heartache and one bill away from living in his parents’ basement. Always one to wear his heart on his sleeve, James became a songwriter at a young age when his friends and family grew tired of listening to his relationship woes. Through music, James discovered that people were more likely to lend him an ear if he provided them with a melody.
