Will James

Will James is an exciting talent on the UK music scene effortlessly melting blues, jazz and soul music into beautiful original music performed with the passion of the greats of old, hailed as certified grassroots blues royalty.

"He is creating inspired collections of modern blues" – Blues in Britain Magazine

Will James is an exciting talent on the UK music scene effortlessly melting blues, jazz, soul music into an innovative sound capturing the attention of legendary producer John Wooler (5x Grammy Winner, John Lee Hooker, Van Morrison). It is a rare sight to find an artist who is a true triple threat, a brilliant guitar player, a vocal tone that has been praised as timeless and wonderful emotive songs, he really is a true UK treasure.

Will has created quite a stir in the blues scene since the release of his first record The Age Of Fear back in 2020. Shortly after its release, he was invited by John Wooler to record his next record Sundancer over in North Hollywood California. During this time Will played with some of LA's finest session players, who had played with the likes of Aretha Franklin, Bonnie Raitt and Elton John to name a few. That record Sundancer went to No.1 on the USA Soul Blues Album Charts 2023 and received great critical acclaim from many blues magazines.

On stage, Will's passionate live performances are a throwback to the greats of old where everything is laid bare. He and his Quartet have gained a stellar live reputation on the London scene also supporting Razorlight & Dire Straits (John illsley) back in 2023.

The band consist of some of London's finest Jazz musicians Dan Mcconkey on saxophone, Joshua Walker Martin on Drums and Theo Malka Wishart on bass. All of which feature on Will's 3rd album due for release later in the year and a single due out in March 2025.
