James Frederick is an indie folk rock singer/songwriter from the Capital District area of New York State. Having played at various open mics, cafes, and random streets in the area, James quietly crept on to the local music scene with nothing more than a guitar and a humble collection of likable songs. His indie folk rock Style is derived from a love of contemporary songwriters like Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes), Glen Hansard (The Swell Season), and The Decemberists. James is one of five rotating open mic hosts at the famous Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs.
