![]() ![]() The New Orleans quintet-Dan Cutler, Sam Doores, Riley Downing, Cameron Snyder, and John James Tourville-have weathered ups, downs, and everything in between only to strengthen the bond between them. The Deslondes have taken such steps as not only bandmates, but as brothers. We let go of who we were in the past and embrace who we're meant to be now. We shed old skin in order to evolve and move forward. Genre Inspiration: Big Easy, Eclectic Americana, Psychedelic, Lo-Fi Garage Rock, Country Western Within several years, a video of James opening for Nashville-based singer/songwriter Katie Pruitt caught the attention of Auerbach, who promptly signed James to his burgeoning indie label Easy Eye Sound. Not long after finishing high school, he moved to Birmingham and quickly became a fixture in the city's melting pot of a music scene. At the age of 15, he played his first gig at a biker rally in nearby Luverne, and soon began booking four-hour sets at local dive bars. "I had a Nextel flip phone and I’d use my voicemail to record all these blues songs I'd written," he recalls, listing Fiona Apple, Hank Williams, Nirvana, and Tom Waits among his formative influences. James first started writing songs as a teenager growing up in the small Alabama town of Troy. The album evokes a timeless amalgam of forsaken blues, wistful folk, and Tin Pan Alley crooning, anchored by the singer's unmistakable voice that sways from gravel-filled shouts to pained, forlorn whispers – and songs that tread in the waters of darkly themed broken hearts, with the wry humor of the sad clown. The lyrical wordsmith conjures the ghosts of great southern gothic writers from Eudora Welty to William Faulkner, while channeling the haunted spirits of Tom Waits and Townes Van Zandt. Genre Inspiration: Roots Rock, Americana, BluesĪlabama's native son, Early James, released his sophomore album, Strange Time To Be Alive, on August 19th, 2022.

With his new project, Zach has created his own take on a contemporary hybrid of blues and rock music, arranged in a pop format. His inspirations are varied, and include prolific artists like The Black Keys, Jack White, Chris Stapleton, Jonny Lang, Funkadelic, and Led Zeppelin. "Between the driving beat, Person's fuzzed-out vocals and the layers of bombastic guitar parts, the tune shows off all the reasons that Buddy Guy once said of Person 'What else can I say? The young man is hot!'" "Reminiscent of everyone from Elmore James and Duane Allman to The Black Keys and Jack White, Person channels a raw, pure-bred American swagger," said American Songwriter. With the poise of a seasoned veteran on stage and the stylings of a mega star, he commands an audience in seconds. Person has a swagger, talent and grit beyond his years.
