British soul musician James Hunter is coming back to Nijmegen. James Hunter is a rhythm & blues troubadour and was once called “one of the best kept secrets in the world of British soul and r&b” by none other than Van Morrison. Flanked by a swinging rhythm and brass section, Hunter makes sultry rhythm & blues that is a perfect match for his fantastic voice as well.
Hunter started performing as a busker on the streets of London. Later on, he was a backing vocalist and guitarist for Van Morrison and even received a Grammy nomination for his third solo album “People Gonna Talk”. In 2013 The James Hunter Six signed with the legendary record label Daptone Records (the home of artists like Charles Bradley and Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings). In 2020 they released a fourth studio album called “Nick of Time”. This is once again a sublime record full of soulful rhythm & blues.
