James Richard Stevens

James Richard Stevens doesn’t fit the profile for your average singer/songwriter.With his 6ft-plus frame, cool specs and trademark ginger hair, he looks decidedly different. His powerful, heartfelt acoustic swagger – a veritable musical splicing of Tom McRae, Ed Harcourt, and Tom Baxter – evokes a magically unique experience.Influenced by an eclectic mix of melodic talents from the rock and folk fraternity – Elbow's Guy Garvey, Sophia's Robin Proper-Shephard and the band Clayhill, to name but a few – Stevens' songs tap into universal themes of heartbreak, love, loss and disappointment, but never demand your sympathy or provoke a mood of sorrow. Indeed, his heartfelt music will uplift you… and immerse you in a world of beautiful, soaring vocals and spine-tingling guitar chords.Listen to debut single Chemistry by logging on to www.myspace.com/jamesrichardstevens and allow this talented songwriter to take you on an emotional journey.
