“James Bagley and Bradley Green with JB & THE SEVENTIES take you back to the seventies when times were “cool” and bell bottoms were the norm. The songs they play are really cool renditions of your favorites from the seventies. James Bagley is an extraordinary guitarist on the six or twelve string guitar. Bradley Green has a drumming technique that is clean and so on the money. That combination with James’ voice sounds so good with a vibe that is hard to find. The band showcases different musicians and instruments which allows them to play any tune with ease and precision. When I hear them play, I feel like a teenager again . . . . .You will catch yourself with a smile on your face when you hear them play . . . close your eyes and you are back in time . . . Go there with JB & THE SEVENTIES.”
