Congrats to James Otto

James and his wife Amy are expecting their first child in August. They've been married five years now. James told "People" he and Amy "are so excited and feel so blessed. I am overwhelmed with joy at the idea of becoming a father! This is truly going to be an amazing, life-altering experience."

As James will find out more and more - the timing isn't that great. He says, "That's the busiest touring season, part of the touring season of the year is, is like summer and late summer." But James does, "...plan to take like a week or two weeks off right around that area, so, you know I'd like to be there for the birth if I can, you know. Obviously I don't wanna miss that."

James self-titled album is going to be out later in the year.
