"Andrew James is a guitarist with the dexterity of Edward Scissorhands – it’s hard to believe he’s just one man playing one instrument."
Andrew has quickly earned a reputation as a folk hero at home and his global audience is expanding, having recently featured on the cover of Indie Music Reviewer Magazine. He combines roots, blues, slide guitar and folk in an astoundingly unique and contemporary approach to songwriting.
A virtuoso (in the strict sense of the word), his capacity for creating music that compliments and augments his lyrical storytelling knows no bounds. Watching Andrew wield the acoustic guitar, lap slide and banjo, using a unique and mesmerising finger-picking technique, is an experience in itself. His relationship to his instruments, from which he can coax sounds as diverse as they are expressive, is one of obvious intimacy, even love. His voice is alternately plaintive, nostalgic, innocent and angered as he considers the consequences of our thinking and our actions in uncertain times.
