James Pitts Band

The Only True Blues Party Band

We're not background music. We're not just another blues band. We're a damn party - high-energy blues, funk, and soul with mashups and audience participation.

Why We Exist

After years of playing in various bands and seeing the stress that venues and event planners face, we founded the James Pitts Band with one mission: to turn rooms into parties while making the booking process as smooth as possible.

We believe that great music should be effortless for everyone involved. That's why we handle everything from load-in to breakdown, provide professional sound and lighting, and maintain the highest standards of communication and reliability.

Our goal is simple: when you book the James Pitts Band, you get a packed dance floor, happy guests, and zero drama. Every single time.
