James Reams and the Barnstormers Bring Bluegrass Music to Putnam Valley

James Reams is bringing bluegrass to Putnam Valley with a full band combining traditional bluegrass and the pain of social outcasts. His music features driving rhythm and hard-edged harmonies that take you back to a time before bluegrass was smoothed out for the uninitiated, the ill-prepared or the faint of heart. His latest album, Rhyme & Season, celebrates the perpetual pilgrim that lives within all of us with songs about the different journeys that life takes us on. He hopes to raise awareness about the homeless and is donating a portion of that album proceeds to a local charity.
