About Tucker

Tucker James began playing violin at age 5 and never stopped.  He pursued and studied classical violin all the way through college, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in Violin Performance from Syracuse University.  Tucker is currently based in the Saratoga area of upstate New York.  He is a sought after violinist and fiddler.  Tucker James prides himself on being versatile and giving his heart to whatever he is called upon to do, whether it’s a jazz concert, a classical violin wedding ceremony or a barn burner at the Irish pub!

Mr. James has been fortunate to play most of the biggest festivals and venues in the Capital Region area.  He has performed at the SPAC Jazz Fest, Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival, MVP Arena with the Trans Siberian Orchestra, the Egg, the historic Café Lena and lots of fairs and country festivals.

Tucker also does about 40 weddings every year.  Typically ceremonies and/or cocktail hours where he provides music that is catered to the clients’ desires, from string quartets playing Taylor Swift to bluegrass groups playing Stevie Wonder.

Tucker loves to play and perform.  He is more than happy to talk to you if you have any questions.  Please feel free to reach out and contact him.
