Shawn James Performs in show with The Wind + The Wave and Swells

Take one listen to Shawn James’ music and you can hear his roots in the Mississippi Delta by way of growing up on the fabled South Side of Chicago, his authentic, gutbucket blend of blues, folk, and soul music running the gamut of ecstatic joy and painful anguish. The singer-songwriter has previously released four full-length albums, with a forthcoming release slated for 2019. James is a road dog, the hellhounds at his heels, performing more than 200 dates a year.
