About James Leg
Artist Biography
James Leg is best known as the lead singer and organ and piano pumper with the heavy blues-rock band the Black Diamond Heavies; he's also a solo artist who pursues his own career during the group's downtime. Born John Wesley Myers in Port Arthur, Texas, Myers' father was a preacher, and at a young age John and his family moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee. When John was 15, he attended a tent revivalist's sermon on the evils of secular music, and the young man who had been raised on gospel got a taste of some forbidden sounds. John soon wanted to know more about the darker pleasures of the music he was supposed to avoid, and before long he was obsessed with blues and hard rock. ~ Mark Deming
