About

JAMES BAY IN CONCERT:

British folk singer-songwriter James Bay is quickly making a name for himself with his gravelly voice, heartrending lyrics, and no-frills live performances. The fresh-faced young musician leverages minimal elements to maximum effect at his live shows, achieving big emotional impact with little more than his soulful voice and acoustic guitar. Whether he's belting out "When We Were On Fire" or encouraging fans to sing along to "Move Together", Bay's energy and charisma always make for a rousing concert experience ticket buyers won't soon forget.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

James Bay, born in Hitchin, UK, picked up his first guitar at age 11, teaching himself to play with the help of a CD-ROM guitar tutorial. He began writing pop songs in his teens, taking inspiration from artists like Eric Clapton and the Black Crowes while honing his own unique sound. In 2013 he released his acoustic debut EP The Dark of the Morning, an impressive collection of soulful folk recorded live at the Swamp in London. The album displayed his knack for penning sparse yet powerful songs, and artfully-crafted tunes like "Move Together" drew praise from critics and fans alike. Bay followed up in 2014 with the Let It Go EP, which featured a full backing band -- a development that has fans eagerly awaiting the chance to see Bay and Co. on their future tour dates. Previously, James Bay has played venues such as Irving Plaza in New York City and the Theatre of Living Arts in Philadelphia.

    The best concert!! I'm still thinking about it!

    by Brittany on 9/20/23Fox Theater - Oakland - Oakland

    James Bay is phenomenal in every aspect. He is beyond talented. His voice sounds amazing live. His guitar skills are top tier. He clearly LOVES what he does. He loves music and that passion just pours out on that stage. His music moves me in the best way. My only complaint is that it was over too fast. I could have stood there and listened to every song he has ever written. Just amazing. You don't want to miss him live!

    Very nice

    by SFPete on 9/19/23Fox Theater - Oakland - Oakland

    I have to say I have not been to the Fox theater in Oakland in many years. I live in San Francisco and took Bart short easy walk. It's a very lovely place and not all the rules like most places. James Bay put on a great show I enjoyed it.

    Best night ever!

    by Jules on 9/19/23Fox Theater - Oakland - Oakland

    I had rode three hours to get to the concert and was wearing a last minute outfit I put on right down the block from the venue. If you have ever been to a concert you’ll know the adrenaline and excitement rushes that i was feeling as I walked into the theater and was finding my section. I could not wait for James to come out and was literally going to cry every minute. I still remember the feeling as James starting singing “best fake smile” as soon as I heard his voice I wanted to cry. My eyes automatically started watering, and it was like feeling a breath of fresh air when I heard the instruments and music start playing. I could not believe that I could see his entire figure in front of my eyes. He is such a great performer, I would be so glad and happy to see him again! Maybe he can hopefully perform closer to home for me! I was very happy with it.

    Wish I could have seen him

    by Ck on 9/19/23Fox Theater - Oakland - Oakland

    I'm sure he was great. I couldn't make it and couldn't sell my tickets since Ticketmaster has stopped allowing that so I lost out on the amount I paid. Great venue though.

    Incredible and unforgettable

    I recently attended an unforgettable show featuring the incredible singer and musician, James Bay. From the moment he stepped on stage, it was evident that we were in for a remarkable evening of music. James Bay's talent is nothing short of extraordinary, and he captivated the audience with his soulful voice and masterful guitar skills. Throughout the performance, James Bay's energy and passion for his craft were palpable, and it was impossible not to be swept away by the emotional depth of his songs. His ability to connect with the audience on a profound level left a lasting impression, and I found myself completely immersed in the music. One of the standout moments of the show was when James Bay performed his hit songs, including "Hold Back the River"and "Let It Go."The crowd sang along with every word, creating a sense of unity and shared experience that was truly magical. In addition to his musical prowess, James Bay's stage presence was magnetic. He interacted with the audience in a genuine and humble manner, making everyone feel like they were a part of something special. His authenticity as a performer shone brightly, and it was clear that he was pouring his heart and soul into every song. As the final notes of the encore filled the air, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to witness such a fantastic artist in action. James Bay's show was more than just a concert; it was a transcendent experience that will stay with me forever. If you ever have the chance to see him live, don't miss it – it's an experience you won't soon forget.
