James Wood

JAMES WOOD is described as one of the country’s most exciting new singer-songwriters, who’s early demos have led to a record deal with Run On Records (The Coral, The Royston Club) & Modern Sky (Jamie Webster, Red Rum Club, The Blinders). He is a former member of The Gallerys, a successful band with several UK tours and supports gigs with bands like Madness and The Rifles. But when The Gallerys split, he started a solo career.

His influences include Neil Young, Bob Dylan and Jake Bugg, but James has grown his own rich sound powered by his compelling lyrics.
His early recordings were done on a shoestring budget in Kent, but the lack of any budget doesn’t show in these stripped back songs of life and love. Showcasing a magical balance between happiness, nostalgia and melancholy, James’s early releases have enjoyed early BBC Introducing support from Radio 1 DJ Abbie McCarthy among others.

“This is a bit of a beauty, the brilliant James Wood” – Abbie McCarthy, BBC Introducing Kent

“James Wood’s soul-touching lyrics matched with his unique guitar ability is completely captivating.” – IndieCentralMusic
