James Howard won the Washington Blues Society Finals in 2016 and 2023, and competed in this year's International Blues Challenge, in Memphis Tennessee.

“Guitarist extraordinaire…animated, energetic and intense performance… a breathtaking exhibition… pushed the crowd to the edges of their seats…simply awesome” -and – “…he mixes the intensity of Stevie Ray with the passion of Hendrix and plays some of the meanest blues this side of the Mississippi. He takes his phenomenal blues to places others have not, making the music his own. He has what it takes to bring the blues up to the next level.” ─ Bernard Bauer of Music Connection Magazine
