BONEY JAMES
Wednesday, April 3, 8 p.m.
Tickets on Sale Friday, August 31 at Noon
Tickets start at $60 (inclusive of fees)
Produced by Brevard Music Group

It's been a full quarter-century since a young saxophonist and composer released his debut recording as a leader, Trust. Now, Boney James has released his 16th album, this one titled, Honestly. If you sense a direct line between those titles, you've already come a long way toward understanding what motivates the four-time Grammy nominee and multi-platinum-selling musician. Honestly, says James, is quite different sounding than the previous record. "It's more exposed," he says of the 10-track collection. "Some of the arrangements are not as dense. A number of the songs have a more buoyant, cheerful, happy quality to them." James produced the record and co-wrote all but one track, his interpretation of the Johnny Mercer-Hoagy Carmichael classic 'Skylark.'
