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.
James Bay is such an amazing artist! Sounds even better live. Definitely a night I won't forget!
He was amazing!!! I've been to another concert of his this year and he didn't disappoint either time. His opening act was also really great. I just love how humble and gracious he is with his fans. You can tell that he really appreciates us being completely in love with him - which we all are :)
James Bay is captivating the world with his new edgy and delicious sound. Not only does he shred a guitar like the best of them, but he makes you feel every bit of it. Echostage's sound team brought the show to life. I wish I could go back to that show every weekend!
Awesome show. Wish we could have had seats, didn't realize you could reserve some at additional cost. Not obvious when buying tickets. But very talented artists put on a good show. Fun show all around.
James Bay is an incredible artist with a strong stage presence and a voice that is not heard much these days.
Was blown away by James Bay. He sounded great and was extremely engaged with the crowd. Is definitely worth seeing!
James Bay is an amazing performer. He will not disappoint. He also seems so humble and that is awesome. His opening act Tor Miller, was also very talented. Such an amazing night.
I loved the entire concert. I loved that there were only 2 artists so that I didn't have to wait longer for james bay. I was pleasantly surprised that Tor Miller is very good. I drove 5 hours to come see James Bay and I have no regrets. I'd do it again
I was expecting an incredible night of artistry when I walked into the Newport Music Hall to see James Bay. But what I got was even further beyond what I could ever have hoped for. James Bay is a fantastic lyricist, vocalist, and guitarist... But his presence on stage is absolutely unbelievable. He has a contagious passion, joy, and energy that will utterly blow you away. His performance was a full 5 stars, but the crowd unfortunately was a little unruly and took away from the heartfelt moments, for example when he was trying to tell the story behind Scars. Regardless, I've been to many many shows and his is by far one of the most memorable.
unbelieveably amazing show from start to end. James is an amazing singer and musician. You don't want to miss him if he comes to your city!!
Great show! He is such a talented singer and performer. Can't wait until he is touring in the area again because I will defiantly see him!!!! A must see concert!
I loved the concert. He is such a good singer and I'm hopeful that he comes back to Columbus again!
James Bay is as incredible live as he is streaming from my speakers. He is full of energy and beautiful music. He had one smaller opener who was awesome (Tor Miller) and then came on and played about two hours. He played all his songs from Chaos and the Calm and just blew me away. He is such a talented musician.
James Bay gave a phenomenal performance! The energy of his performance is something you can't necessary feel in his recordings. His cover of "If I Ain't Got You" was a great treat in the encore.
He was the quintessence of perfection and sounded even better in person.I was low key crushing the whole time.He made my first concert experience extraordinary.I love how he took time to say happy birthday to a fan and was joking around with the audience for a while, having them repeat back the notes he sang to them.Longing forward to seeing him again.
Excellent new artist. He surprised us with performing an Alicia Keys cover which he completely blew away. Awesome show, awesome artist, awesome band.
Had such an awesome time! Cant wait for next time!
James Bay is an absolutely wonderful performer! He gets so into his music and playing his guitar. He gets the audience into the songs, and his voice is just amazing. It's great to watch someone who is so passionate about his music and hear it through his voice. Watching him live adds so much to the experience of listening to his music.
The seats sucked really bad but once James came out on that stage everything was perfection. Everyone ended up standing all together in the front and just singing, crying and just enjoying his performance. Me and my daughter Lana had an incredible time.
This was a great show, entertaining, energetic! He killed some Alicia Keys at the end! Perfect. Hammerstein Ballroom in NY made it even better...first show I've seen there.
