Will James Live is set for 26 November 2026 at Excellar in London. The event showcases Will James, who is noted for blending blues, jazz, and soul music into an innovative sound. Tickets start from £22.50.
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 producerJohn Wooler( 5x Grammy Winner, John Lee Hooker, Van Morrison)“He is creating inspired collections of modern Blues” Blues in Britain Magazine
Will created quite a stur in the 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.
This was quite an experience for Will who got to play 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 by many blues magazines.
His music is rooted in blues but pulls many melodic elements from Jazz and Soul music which is evident in “Love Lullaby” showing a silky smooth vocal and equally as smooth intricate guitar riffs which serve this beautiful song perfectly.
Recently performed live on Memphis Blues Radio USA too over 100,000 listeners.
It is 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.
On stage ,Wills 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 to also
supporting Razorlight & Dire Straits (John illsley) back in 2023.
The band consist of some of Londons finest Jazz musicians Dan Mcconkey on saxophone, Joshua Walker Martin on Drums and Theo Malka Wishart on bass. All of which who feature heavily on Wills 3rd album due for release later in the year and a single due out in March 2025.
