SETH JAMES TO BRING BLUES TO THE BARNHILL CENTER SATURDAY

  

A night of Texas blues, country soul and funky R&B is coming to The Barnhill Center tomorrow (Saturday).

Texas singer, songwriter and guitarist Seth James and his sizeable band will host a concert at 7 p.m.  James’ work has been critically acclaimed for combining storytelling with funky grooves.

The Barnhill Center producer Sharon Brass says “When you see Seth, with his cowboy hat and boots, you expect music like you’d get from George Strait, but Seth delivers a soulful, R&B and blues sound that is more reminiscent of his friend, Delbert McClinton.”

With a collection of original songs, James emerged on the Texas music scene as a solo artist in 2009 with the release of his first album, “That Kind Of Man.” 

In 2010, he formed The Departed band with Cody Canada and other renowned artists.  They released their first album, “This Is Indian Land”, in 2011, followed by “Adventüs” in 2012.  Both albums landed in the top 20 on the Billboard Country Albums chart.

Three years later, James left The Departed, simply because he missed playing his own sound he had worked so hard to find.  In total, James has released three solo albums with his own band.

Tickets are still available starting at $40 and can be purchased at www.thebarnhillcenter.com.
