From fist pumping, stomp your feet working-man anthems to soulful ballads of love, heartache and loss, James' songs are all rich in storytelling. Intensely thought-out lyrics grind through James' raspy vocal chords with powerful emotion to produce rich, dark imagery, that can really punch you in the heart. The experience escalates even further when backed by his band, The Cable 22's, consisting of bassist Chris McLean and drummer Michael Hunter.
