THE JAMES HUNTER SIX

The James Hunter Six returns with their first album on Easy Eye Sound, delivering another dose of timeless rhythm & soul. British singer, songwriter and GRAMMY-nominated James Hunter has been a legendary fixture in the scene for over three decades, with his gritty voice and sharp songwriting earning him acclaim around the world. This new record features a rare duet with longtime collaborator Van Morrison (‘Ain’t That A Trip’), marking a full-circle moment for the artist hailed by MOJO magazine as “The United Kingdom’s Greatest Soul Singer.” 

Set for release January 16th, ‘Off The Fence’ is a landmark album for James Hunter himself for a number of different reasons. In many ways it represents his past, his present and his future. 

In 2006, James Hunter was recognized with nominations for a GRAMMY® Award for Best Traditional Blues Album and an Americana Music Award for Best New/Emerging Artist. He and his band then hit the road for extensive touring while recording new material on Concord Music and Daptone Records—and now his latest album is out on Easy Eye Sound.

By 2016, MOJO magazine had crowned him “The United Kingdom’s Greatest Soul Singer.”​  He has toured the world from clubs to major festivals—and opened for legends Aretha Franklin, B.B. King, Etta James, Van Morrison, Buddy Guy, Willie Nelson, and Bonnie Raitt.
