Kingsley James:
After a lifetime of experimenting with music and instruments Maitland singer-songwriter Kingsley James started to share his art with his local community in late 2017. In that short time, he has become a regular in the music scene across the Hunter, as well as visiting other spots in NSW supporting acts including Tori Forsyth, Johnston City, Runaway Mornings and Novocastrian surf-rock band Dyer Maker. Also playing Keyboard in Johnston City Kingsley became a more interested in the piano and not just guitar and voice. Kingsley’s dulcet sound marries tones of earthiness with elements of soul, folk and blues - powered by honest and vulnerable lyrics derived from the experiences of his everyday. Inspired by the early sounds of Marvin Gaye and Elvis , Kingsley’s true genre is soul itself, reaching for something more then just the sounds but a feeling of what it brings. His other main influences are Jim James, Marlon Williams, and of course Fleet Foxes.
