More About The James Hunter Six
GRAMMY-nominated British soul singer James Hunter has spent more than three decades perfecting a sound that feels both timeless and alive. Fronting The James Hunter Six, Hunter’s gritty, golden-throated vocals glide over swinging R&B grooves, twin saxophones, and Hammond B3 organ with the effortless cool of a late-night soul revue. If you love the sounds of Sam Cooke, Wilson Pickett, Jackie Wilson, or Van Morrison, this is music that hits straight from the heart.
Hunter’s latest album, Off The Fence, marks his debut on Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound label and features a special duet with longtime friend and collaborator Van Morrison on the jump-blues burner “Ain’t That A Trip.” Praised by MOJO as “The United Kingdom’s Greatest Soul Singer,” Hunter has shared stages with legends including Aretha Franklin, BB King, Etta James, Mavis Staples, Bonnie Raitt, and Van Morrison while building a devoted international following of his own.
Whether delivering uptempo rhythm & blues or candlelit soul ballads, The James Hunter Six channels the spirit of classic R&B with wit, warmth, and undeniable groove. In the words of Van Morrison himself, Hunter remains “one of the best voices and best kept secrets in British R&B.”
