James Bland has photographed local and national musicians since the 1980’s. The Deep Ellum neighborhood of Dallas was the center of the music scene for decades, and James was in the middle of it.

This is a collection of band portraits from the Dallas underground music scene in the 1980’s thru the 1990’s.
