Emmanuel “James” Beam. Born in Liberia West Africa and adopted into the Great PNW to an amazing family who’s Mama and Dad raised me right! “God & Country”. My love for country music came from my dad. I started playing his guitar when I was 12 years old. At age 15 I found I had a voice to go with it and it’s brought me to this place. I am steadfast in staying true to the real sound of country and to one day make my way to the Grand ole Opre stage. ~ James Beam
