James Hollingsworth - unique, complex, talented

James Hollingsworth

Bristol-based singer/songwriter/guitarist James Hollingsworth has a unique, complex guitar style, reminiscent of Andalusian guitar as well as modern rock. In addition he is also lead singer of the rock band JEBO, as well as working the live circuit in England and Wales as a solo singer/guitarist.

Following recording with John Burns on the JEBO album, James' inspired approach to the recording of his own music has been inevitably accelerated by his experience with this producer, whose work includes albums by Genesis (Gabriel years), Bob Marley, John Martyn, Cat Stevens and many others. John's influence has also extended to James' own work as a producer, most notably with Catalan poet and artist Xavier Panades and the C.A.T.

James Hollingsworth sings his original Contemporary Folk/Blues songs with harmonica and unique flamenco-esque fingerstyle guitar.

"one of the best song writers in the country."

"a blissfully original sound."

"James Hollingsworth was a revelation. His songs were sharp and melodic, the voice demanding attention and his guitar-playing top quality, and two excellent backing musicians to boot."
Bristol Community Festival 2000."
