THE JAMES HUNTER SIX IN CONCERT:

Whether he's touring with luminaries like Aretha Franklin and Van Morrison or headlining shows with his talented sextet, acclaimed British soul singer and bandleader James Hunter is an electrifying performer known for his powerful pipes and on-stage energy. At his live performances with The James Hunter Six he lights up the stage, tearing through original material and red-hot soul covers with a fiery intensity that makes the old feel new.  His R&B-influenced brand of vintage soul is perfectly complemented by his talented bandmates, who add sax, drums, keyboard, and double bass to the mix with razor-sharp precision. Whether they're channeling soul classics or grooving through cuts from 2013's Minute by Minute, The James Hunter Six always wow ticket buyers with their undeniable chemistry and phenomenal musical chops.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Essex-born James Hunter grew up listening to his grandmother's '50s rock and soul records and plucking out tunes with his guitarist brother. By his mid-'20s he was playing gigs around the country, and in the early '90s he was spotted by Van Morrison, who enlisted him as a backing singer on several tours and albums. Morrison described Hunter as "one of the best voices and best kept secrets in British R&B and soul", and by the early '00s Hunter was enjoying a solo career of his own while at the same time acting as bandleader for Howlin' Wilf & The Veejays. He signed a deal with GO Records/Rounder and in 2006 released the album People Gonna Talk, a critically acclaimed collection that earned him a Grammy nod for Best Traditional Blues Album. His 2008 follow-up The Hard Way was equally well-received, peaking at No. 1 on the US blues chart and getting a glowing review from Rolling Stone, which called the album "unbelievably awesome". Since then he has continued to set the groove with The James Hunter Six, transporting fans around the world with rollicking performances of vintage soul and blues.

    by DrJayhawk on 10/23/17Abdo New River Room at the Broward Center - Ft Lauderdale

    The James Hunter Six put on a fabulous show with a nice mixture of blues, rock and some nice jazzy moments. If you haven’t see this group, you are missing one of Britain’s real gems. Can’t wait for the new album.

    This was my first concert at Ponte Vedra Concert Hall and I really enjoyed the intimacy and convenience. James Hunter is such a talented performer and I always walk away from his concerts with a smile. It is evident that he and his band love to entertain.

    Great show! Went to this event without knowing anything about James Hunter Six and what a wonderful surprise. A terrific group of 6 musicians who clearly enjoyed playing for the audience. So glad we got to see this show and will look forward to seeing them their next time around. Thank you James Hunter Six.

    The James Hunter Six exceeded my expectations

    by TheHowitzer on 3/7/16The Sinclair - Cambridge

    I have been meaning to see James Hunter and his band for awhile. They did not disappoint. They were tight, and energetic. Their delivery of dynamic intensity was much appreciated. James was in fine voice and he displayed a cool English working man stage presence. The two man horn section was even more mesmerizing in person than on CD. Tenor and Bari blended perfectly.

    Absolutely Rockin'

    by DrJayhawk on 2/17/16Amaturo Theater at Broward Center - Ft Lauderdale

    For those not familiar with James Hunter, I strongly suggest getting one of his albums and, if you're lucky, go see him in person. This was my second concert, and he did not disappoint. Blues, soul, rock and a little jazzy at times. What a great performer. What a great band: The James Hunter Six. I have all his albums, including his new one, which is fabulous.
