Former Chicago frontman for Mickey Finn, which played with Bob Marley's Wailer's, and then fronted The Groove. Now a solo artist bringing that Chicago sound to Florida, playing funk, rock and blues covers, often in ways you haven't heard them before, along with strong radio-played originals.
A hot time on a very cold night as a Polar Vortex was just hitting Chicago.
Playing at the Stone Wall Pub always brings out the stone-cold-coolest people.
When the night is right, you just have to keep on playing.
When you're playing for a good cause, it just makes everything feel that much more important.
Want a great combination? Amazing BBQ and the blues....
You have to practice like you play. End of story.
"James Warda is very good at writing about human moments...”
“James allows us to watch through his eyes as he struggles with the human condition. Then, by watching him find and lose and find his way again, we come to understand so much more about our own search.”
“Do you feel like you’re sprinting through life? If so, perhaps James Warda's book, Where Are We Going So Fast?, can help you step off the track for a while.”
“James helps us remember life’s preciousness and brevity.”
“James Warda is a father of three with the soul of a poet.”
