  • Bio

    Jeffrey James' strong baritone voice has rich, smoky tones that make you wonder if the skinny kid on the cover is really the one belting the soulful lyrics on upcoming EP, Make Your Way to the Flashing Lights (available November 6, 2012). The new EP is a collection of rock songs infused with catchy rhythms and intense vocals reminiscent of old soul music. The five-track compilation features songs that are quite different as some showcase a pop-like feel with a simple hook and blues shuffle while others tease with dirty dap-tone like horns or an ominous arrangement of strings. Jeffrey's voice and expressive delivery add to the groove of each song, making it a cohesive collection that can make even the most stubborn hipster nod along. James has been touring both colleges and venues following the release of his 2011 EP "Goin' Back Down,' and now in anticipation of his newest EP, "Make Your Way to the Flashing Lights". He is hopeful to maximize the exposure from his recent showcase on NBC's "The Voice Season 3," along with the past two year's touring, which included playing over 120 shows, opening for Hanson and Rooney and winning Vanderbilt's Rites of Spring band contest to share the stage with Sarah Bareilles, The National, and Public Enemy. Recently asked to join Music City Unsigned, a group of music lovers who support and promote independent artists in Nashville, James has already proved himself to be a treasured asset to their elite family. "Jeffrey James is making music that honors the past, but sits perfectly in the present. He's got the voice, the groove and was undeniably born to sing," says Music City Unsigned. "Jeffrey's passion and drive will continue to propel his career forward and make people take notice of one of the best emerging voices coming out of Music City today."
