Bio
James Wesley Haymer is a well-seasoned singer-songwriter and storyteller whose music blends Americana, folk, and classic rock with rich, emotionally-driven lyrics. With over 500 songs and three books to his name, James crafts songs like stories — layered, personal, and rooted in truth. His sound channels the spirit of Bob Dylan and Mark Knopfler, but his voice is unmistakably his own: thoughtful, witty, and deeply human.
A lifelong creative and former member of the band Silverspoon, James brings a lifetime of lived experience to his work, sharing reflections on sobriety, family, spirituality, and the absurdity of life with warmth and dry humor. Whether he is performing live, sharing a story about meeting John Lennon, or reviewing one of his many instruments, James connects through authenticity — one lyric at a time.
