James Shead

James Shead is a British musician based in Cornwall, UK. Through his records and his band's high energy live shows, his sound has been described as a "powerful combination of Indie Rock and Americana" and as a “gravel voiced singer songwriter not afraid to share his own experiences through his music”. It was this honest song writing that helped him emerge as a festival favourite throughout the UK. His songs are stories, penned from experiences of his own and those around him. His debut album “A light for the fires” was released in 2015 and was supported with live shows around the country, including several headline shows at the iconic Troubadour in London, as well as intimate live shows at home in Cornwall. The album followed two iTunes-charting EPs which established him as one of the most exciting new singer-songwriters in the UK.
