“Best current British blues singer I know.”
The words of BBC 6 Music’s Tom Robinson who has long given a nod of approval to the work of this singer-songwriter.
Melissa James is however much more than a blues singer. She is a poetical songsmith with a voice that permeates the fibres of many who hear it. She is inspired by the work of Nina Simone Joni Mitchell Eric Bibb and Lizz Wright – a singer to whom she has been likened. Melissa’s music is rootsy gospel-folk with a large helping of soul.
This concert brings together artists and their music bringing healing connection to our humanity in urgent times.
