Edit history

Starting off playing bass and singing in local garage punk/rock bands, Exit and Prized Liaison, Jimmy soon found a passion for Acoustic music. With a love for all genre's of music and a knack for songwriting, Jimmy has created his own sound and style reflecting a fun-loving and beautiful look at the world. With influences coming from a variety of artist including David Bowie, Ben Folds an The Hilltop Hoods jimmy's music breaks free from the typical romantic ballad and beach-bum sound associated with solo acoustic musicians. At just Twenty there is still a lot more to be seen and heard of this young whipper-snapper.

An acoustic cross between City and Colour and John Butler Trio, this Townsville born singer-songwriter harnesses his powerhouse of a voice to reach heightened levels of emotion and connection with his audience. Growing up, James had a strong classical background but has since found his love in a rich open-chorded sound packed with unique melodies, powerful vocals and thought-provoking lyrics. James' new EP entitled Rise will be coming out in late May. Follow James' story on FB @JamesRoss and Insta @JimmyJamesLive
