If you've watched TV, listened to the radio, or been online lately, there's a very good chance you've seen or heard Maroon 5 guitarist, and Ernie Ball Music Man signature artist, James Valentine and his guitar. James was in New York recently doing a number of appearances to discuss The Valentine, upcoming new music from the band, and more. In case you missed them, we've listed them again below.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
On August 24th, James sat in for the night with The Tonight Show house band, The Roots.
