James came to Bonnaroo to experience love and community. His upbringing with family was different than most.  His grandmother was a witch who put curses of darkness on him and threatened him to stay away from “the Light Carriers.”  When he was 11 years old he was taken to Vacation Bible School by a neighborhood family. He said a prayer to ask Jesus into his life but when he told his family about it they told him to never go around the Light Carriers again. When he arrived at Bonnaroo and set up camp, he could feel this strong pull that was taking him by those he considered, the “Happy People.”
