Roots Rocker James Intveld Releases Have Faith

Nashville, TN. (Molenaart Records)--James Intveld, the eclectic musician, singer-songwriter known widely for his classic Americana sound, plaintive ballads and perfect honky tonk two-stepping, is celebrating the August 12th release of Have Faith (Molenaart Records) with a coast to coast tour and a strong showing on the R&R Americana Chart.

Long a sought after sideman with the likes of Dwight Yoakam and a member of the Blasters, Intveld steps back into the spotlight with this, his third studio record. Just released to radio, Have Faith made the most added list on this weeks R&R Americana Chart.

Of the ten tracks, seven are self-penned showcasing his strong songwriting skills and musical diversity. The record rings with the themes of love, loss and above all faith.

A native of Los Angeles, by the time James was in high school he was sitting in with the house band at the legendary Palomino Club. He worked with younger brother Ricky and friend Pat Woodward in a band known as the Rockin' Shadows. The group dissolved when Ricky and Woodward left to work with Rick Nelson's Stone Canyon Band; both later died in the same airplane accident that took the life of Nelson, a tragedy that cut deeply into Intveld's heart and soul.

During the cow punk movement of the '80s, James so impressed Town South of Bakersfield producers Pete Anderson and Dusty Wakeman, that he was included on the second volume of the compilation series.

A true renaissance man, James is an accomplished actor and film director. Continuously cast in movies, TV, and videos, he was the singing voice of Johnny Depp's character in the John Waters film Cry Baby. He directed fellow musician and friend Dale Watson's acclaimed video Justice For All.

As a songwriter he's had cuts by Rosie Flores ("Crying Over You") and Wanda Jackson ("Walk With Me"). As a sought after sideman he's shared the musical stage with the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash, Brian Setzer, Merle Haggard, Pete Townsend, Dwight Yoakam and Steve Earle over the course of his career.
