James Hunter Tickets

Being older, the standing situation was pretty awful. The music, however, was outstanding

was disappointed he could not play some of his originial songs

Fantastic show. Old school R&B with a modern sound.

Loved the show. The acoustics and overall sound were great. I would see James Hunter again, anytime.

no one better live, playing or singing, great original songs

My guests and I were totally entertained...James Hunter is exciting and VERY professional. Great show and rest assured, we will see him again. gc

Now thats what I call soul music....outstanding performance by a great band.....

James Hunter brought his tight, precise "A" game to BB King's on Wed. night. A fascinating mix of influences including early James Brown, London Ska, Swamp Pop and a knowledge of seminal guitar singles like "Raunchy" were all referenced in Hunter's 90 minute set. The mix of upright bass, portable Hammond organ, tasteful uncomplicated drumming, James on rhythm and lead guitar and a tenor and bari horn section crafted a seamless set of Hunter's original material in which one heard the influence of Bob Marley, Ray Charles, James Brown and well as some rockabilly icons like Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis insinuate themselves into his material. And that's a compliment. Rather than try to imitate any of those performers, Hunter folded their spiritual legacy into an artistry of his own invention. Everything about the show worked, including the "sharp dressed man" attitude copped by Hunter and his bandmates. Although he's not very well know in the US and his music may be too good and genuine to aggregate a huge audience in this "Lady Ga-Ga" "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" era we live in, Hunter's audience at his New York show was enthusiastically appreciative of his effort and his art. And so was I...

BEST concert EVER. Now my bucket list is complete.

We've seen James Hunter 4 times now and every time the energy, fun, showmanship, and by the way, great musicianship is there, aye what!

We came on the recommendation of friends, and had a great time. The band was tight, the music was driven and the enthusiam palpable. James sings the rocking, soulful blues as though he has just this one show to play -- and he puts on a show of shows.

We go to see James Hunter whenever he's in our neck of the woods!! He never disappoints!! He's so very personable and interacts with the audience like they're old friends... Can't wait to see him again!!.....and again...

as much fun as we had, i think james was having an even better time on stage. great show!

One of the most enjoyable performances I've ever seen. Excellent musicianship and these guys were having fun. Perfectly managed venue.

James Hunter put on an energetic, positive, enjoyable performance at the Birchmere. His band has a combination of instruments you don't often see and plays a style that is as appealing as it is uncommon. But the star of the show is Hunter's voice. It is powerful, and he can rip it like Howlin' Wolf if he wants to, but more often tames it to croon expertly. His voice is great on record, but in live performance you can truly see it's range. Hunter is glib and funny, too, once you decipher his cockney accent. Great stuff
