James and Black

Guerilla Soul aus Texas (US)

Bruce James pathway of music begins as a child growing up in Houston, Texas and with three sides to every story; this soulful singer-songwriter simply tells it like it is. It has been said James sounds like Otis Redding and Tom Waits sipping black coffee with a nip of gin in New Orleans at 4 o’clock in the morning. The life of this accomplished pianist and learned man of many other instruments with over 20 years in the music industry tells the true story. He has blessed the stage with the likes of the Black Eyed Peas, Leon Russell, The Last Poets, Burning Spear, Bernie Worrell, Jimmy Smith, and Dr. John, as well as, an appearance at the 2010 Porretta Soul festival sharing the stage with Clay Hammond, Chick Rodgers, Fred Wesley, and Miss Lavelle White.
