Boney James Tickets

'Boney James Tickets'

'James Oppenheim attracted the name Boney while partnering with some of the world's leading musicians. After leaving school, he was blowing the saxophone and determined to make it in the '70s. The musician now headlines as Boney James at his concerts across the world. His hold on the saxophone produces a unique raspy, woodwind voice that is highly recognizable as part of his individual style.'

'A Tick Tock Countdown'

'

With gritty, rugged textures from the sax, Boney created an alternative to the popular soft, light jazz of the time and aimed to guide his listeners into a real groove. His jazz makes fans dance and move. Boney saw 11 of his LPs hold No. 1 positions on the

Billboard

Jazz Album Chart. From late-night shows with

Jimmy Fallon

to hosting guest artists like

Angie Stone

, Boney's fame grew after getting his music in front of a worldwide audience. He was born in Lowell, Mass., and held his first sax at 10 years old. James did get a degree from the University of California at Los Angeles but dedicated himself to pursuing musical expression. Boney went straight into music after his last day of school. His career started with a general application of music. Whatever opportunity he found, he took, and this meant playing the keyboard at first. Such versatile skills led him into touring with the

Isley Brothers

. It was

Randy Crawford

, the '80s artist behind One Day I'll Fly Away, who gave James his moniker. Today, he continues to tour and perform live across the country.
