joshua james and evan coulombe at the hotel cafe 3.24.14

on march 24, 2014 joshua james and evan coulombe landed in los angeles from australia and announced a very last minute show for that evening at the hotel cafe, which we were lucky enough to attend. we will also be catching joshua and evan for one more l.a. show this week at the troubadour {sorry viewers this one's sold out}.
if you happen upon this page mr. james i must loudly whisper suggestively that you slip in one of your modest mouse covers this thursday please. hmmmmm.... maybe styrofoam boots, out of gas, or dramamine.
joshua james' songs are played often at my homestead, as it helps me live through my neurological suffocation.
thank you much for making beautiful music!

jameson @ the hotel cafe 01.07.11

ps from santa ana, ca comes a bluesy folk inspired singer/songwriter jameson. completeing his band is the bassist dave beste, lap steel guitarist justin burrow, drummer john wilson, singer pavla dlab and dallas kruse on B3, accordion and percussion. there is a shadowy beam in jameson's aura when he sings and you can feel the passion in his voice. ethereal croons and impassioned howls grow to a mesmerising climax that will leave any listener in awe of the sheer talent on display. his poetic verses are the perfect compliment to his music styling through immediacy and a beat. together with his band it's their haunting yet utterly sounds creating melancholic beauty that should be treasured by music lovers. let their dark beauty take over the hearts and minds of listeners. influences include tom waits, leonard cohen, bob dylan, and neil young. if you enjoy folksy blues you will not be disappointed with jameson's powerful work! this band truly deserves a place as one of folk’s finest.
