Soulful Acoustic

About Me

With raw emotion and rich, warm vocals, singer-songwriter James Munroe delivers a soulful blend of Folk, Country, and Pop deriving inspiration from Daniel Lanois, Bono, John Prine, and Amos Lee. James finds that soulful melody that makes his thoughtful and cleverly haunting lyrics move you.

Fans outside his hometown of Vancouver and music industry professionals got a taste of James' music when one of his songs, "Sick Of Love", got selected to be on a Showcase Original Series Documentary.

While James has written and performed original music for years, it wasnt until late 2005 that he began to seriously record his music and in early 2006. James independently released a 5 song EP titled "Hard Feelings" in 2007 and received considerable airplay on collage and online radio as well as a popular seller on CDBaby.com
