James Rhodes is a 34-year-old English pianist whose life story so far reads like a feature in the National Enquirer. The key thing is that he can play and that’s what makes his history so compelling. Read this article to get a sense of what’s he’s been through already. The cool thing is that he’s on to us here at KDFC. Through Twitter and the internet and what else I’m not sure, James knows we’re featuring him this week and he’s grateful. His new CD is called razor blades, little pills and big pianos and you can buy it here at a special price.
I love James Rhodes and i’m not even a fan of classical music. He makes it feel cool and exciting. Supposedly his gig on the 26th is going to be unlike any classical concert ever before. Even Stephen Fry (the definition of amazing) rates Mr Rhodes… he looks like he could do with eating a few hearty meals though.

Thanks for playing him, Dianne. The article was incredible. I hope he can maintain enough equilibrium to keep on keeping on. What is Moszkowski’s Etincelles and when do we get to hear it on air?? Karen
