Joshua James is an amazing musician
by coalwarfan on 4/5/13Mercury Lounge - New YorkJoshua James is one of the most compelling artists I have ever seen. He is so consumed and possessed by the music he plays that it's haunting to watch. He brings the full weight of his recorded albums to the stage with his incredible band and brings the crowd to new levels of high and low. His bass player, Isaac Russell, opened the show with a dramatic solo set which drew the crowd into the performance and the atmosphere, setting the stage for James, who connected with the crowd on every level. I would highly recommend both his live show and his albums to anyone I meet, and I routinely do so.
