Colorblind James Experience were an alternative roots/pop/rock band founded in 1980 in San Francisco, California.
Bandleader and singer/songwriter/guitarist "Colorblind" James Charles Cuminale was originally from Rochester, New York but assembled early versions of what would become the Experience in Oswego, New York before relocating to San Francisco. After a couple years of mixed results there, the band regrouped and moved again--back to Rochester, which remained its home base until Cuminale's premature death in 2001.
The band enjoyed a brief flirtation with fame in the UK and Europe after BBC DJ John Peel gave the Experience some exposure, and their music has made a deep and lasting impression.
