Born and raised in the middle of nowhere in New Hampshire, Abel James started busking on the streets with his sax at 9 years old. During the holidays, he awkwardly dressed up like an elf to play Christmas tunes wherever they would let him.

After learning how to sing and play guitar, bass, drums, and keys, Abel released his first album in 1999 at the age of 15. His life changed when several of his songs hit the top of the Blues/Rock charts on mp3.com! He went on to tour internationally with several award-winning groups.

Highlight: In 2024, Abel became one of the top artists on WavLake and Fountain FM, with multiple songs from his original album, Swamp Thing, hitting #1 on the Top 40 Charts. Recorded in Nashville and produced by Denny Hemingson, bandleader and guitarist for the Tim McGraw Band, 8 songs have charted on the WavLake Top 40.

Lowlight: Just months after moving to Austin in 2008, Abel came home one night to see his apartment building engulfed in a 30 foot wall of flames. Incredibly, everyone made it out alive, but the fire destroyed all of his guitars, saxophones, recording gear, and possessions. With the help of friends, he found a cheap, beat-up guitar and amp at a local pawn shop and was back on his feet playing gigs two weeks later.

Since then, Abel has played hundreds of shows at beloved Austin venues on guitar, vocals, sax, and keys. He’s shared the stage with Zeale, Donavan Keith, Luke Daniel, the Contrabandits, the Incidents (with bandmate Stacey McCann), and many more.

Abel is also a New York Times Bestselling author and host of a top podcast, hitting #1 in Health on the Apple Charts in 8 countries with 100+ million downloads. He’s starred as a coach on ABC TV, appeared in documentaries, and has created more than 1000 immersive Virtual Reality nature, wildlife, meditation, and music experiences.
