About / Biography

Jamboree James is a solo pop & rock covers artist performing any combination of upbeat & chilled popular covers, with both electric & acoustic guitars.

I am a full-time pro musician with over 20 years' experience, playing over 150 shows every year and with over 70 five-star reviews across different platforms.

I provide live vocals & guitar along with custom-made backing tracks, which allows me to create a full band sound but suitable for smaller spaces, lower volumes or smaller budgets!

My repertoire covers a huge range of songs suitable for every event, including modern pop, rock, singalong favourites, country, reggae, R&B, folk, and classic tunes from the 60's to the present. I tailor my set lists based on your requirements, and can also put together new tracks if you have any specific requests.

I work and travel all across the UK (and further), and provide a fully self-contained set-up with my own PA system and lighting.
