Elrey James

Los Angeles based Blues Guitarist and Songwriter.

Elrey James got his first buzzes of rock listening to the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Led Zeppelin. Obsessively clinging to his six string on his move to LA, he found his way into circles playing with rock greats Canned Heat. With successful stints as guitarist and writer for the Saint James Band while making appearances with Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros and others, Castrinos is now stepping fully into his own voice, writing, licks, and riffs as Elrey James. Shining through in James’ masterful homespun rock tunes are the authenticity of a life lived in music, heartbreak, and triumph. Expect much more to come from Elrey James as he unleashes his spirit into song.
