All About James Shannon Bussey
"Ready for the road"
- Guy B.
"Awesome, by far James Shannon Bussey's Best Band!"
- James Brown Vicksburg, Mississippi
I have been playing some type of music all of my life. I'm a second generation musician. My dad played the guitar and both he and my mom played in country bands all throughout my childhood, even after I was grown. My grandmother played the piano. I can't remember a time where there wasn't a musical instrument around the house for me to play. Therefore being a musician was more fate than choice.
I actually started playing the guitar when I was about 13. Over the last 32 years I have done everything from sit in front of my radio and play, to playing and singing for several thousand at a festival and everything in between. If you would like to find out more about me and my life's travels click on that handsome man to the left.

Vintage Fender Princeton Reverb
My prized amp, a Silver Face Fender Princeton Reverb. A very great sounding and sought after amp. I chose this particular one because it was born the same year I was I was. The sad thing is it considered an antique. Am I? I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing but is in a hell of a lot better shape than I am.

When I think of sing-a-long guitars I think of parties, family get togethers, and camping. Really just any situation where you can pull out a guitar and play, sing a couple of popular songs, while every one sings along.
Therefore in my opinion it first must be acoustic. Acoustic are very portable and convenient and can be taken just about anywhere. Usually when you think about these circumstances you don’t really think about am...

Musical instruments are extremely personal to me. I can't just go to the store, buy an instrument and be happy. It's almost like adopting a child or something. There is a process and story behind every musical instrument you see me play. For example, my on stage acoustic guitar is a 30 year old Alvarez Yairi DY-90 hand made acoustic. It is an absolute beautiful guitar, and people drool over it when they see it. But that wasn't...
