James Armstrong

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Seen live, Armstrong has a confident stage presence that combines grace with mischief. Few blues artists know how to play the crowd as James can, shifting dynamics from a whisper to a growl. Wherever he travels around the world his magnetism continues to hush a noisy rabble or entice a crowd to follow him out into the street or down the length of a beach. Little wonder he’s been dubbed: The Ambassador of the Blues.
By drawing on his rock, country and folk influences as well as his deep blues roots” Blues At the Border” manages to transcend the constraints of tight musical boundaries. “The blues is evolving like every other genre,” he says. “You can be authentic and contemporary at the same time. It’s all about balance!” It is evident that James’ years of heavy touring have honed his skill and unique style Jim DeKoster of Living Blues Magazine states “Likely one of the year’s best, and not to be missed.”

Young Man With The Blues is his most autobiographical song to date. It pays tribute to James’ father, a musician himself who gave James the gift of music, a love of the road and, despite the absence of a mother, a happy childhood. “Young Man With The Blues surely has to be the best original blues song written this year... an absolute gem!”
