James Cashman (musician)
James Cashman (Born August 5, 1984 in Islip, NY) is an American musician, singer songwriter and producer. He is best known as the lead vocalist/guitarist/keyboard player for the Indie/Garage Rock band Altamonte. His trademark guitar playing (which includes playing a right handed guitar left handed without any changes to the string setup) along with his song writing skills are considered a crucial part of Altamonte's overall sound. He is also known for his over the top live performances which have at time, led to confrontations with the police. His Brother, Sean Cashman also plays bass for the band.

In 2005, Cashman left a local band, Rehab to start Altamonte with his Brother and drummer Bill Zaccheo. A few months later the band caught the attention of recording engineer Nic Hard (The Bravery) who co-produced the band's first E.P. The band would go on to record their eponymous debut (released in 2008) with considerable success. Cashman is currently writing and producing the band's second record, which is scheduled to be release sometime in the fall of 2010.
