About
Colton James, a singer-songwriter hailing from Oregonia, Ohio, draws inspiration from his upbringing in a small town nestled along the Little Miami River. Through his country folk originals, he vividly portrays the experiences of growing up along the river, spanning from Oregonia to now living in Loveland, Ohio. As a proud father of two boys, his lyrics often paint the picture of his beautiful family, which he credits to his beautiful wife. Embracing a sober lifestyle, Colton openly shares the challenges he faced during his past struggles with drugs and alcohol. Whether strumming for the natural beauty of the river or captivating audiences across Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, Colton’s music is a heartfelt reflection of his deep connection to both music and family.

Quotes:
“The subject of this piece is Loveland, Ohio’s Colton James. The young folk artist dropped a great new song in August titled On the Run. Run is a tale of jealousy, murder, and regret that James sings with anguished but heartfelt conviction…James is currently performing at venues throughout Montgomery and Hamilton County. After hearing his latest single, I’d say the young man is a hot ticket. Check him out…wherever he plays.”
