James Thompson

James Thomson is a young singer/songwriter hailing from NSW, Australia. He writes his own mix of blues, folk and country music. James grew up on a property in rural NSW. He was introduced to blues and country music at a young age and it had a lasting impact. He didn’t learn an instrument till his family moved to the (relatively) big smoke of Newcastle. James found his mother's old guitar after the move and was determined to learn to play it. He started writing songs about three years later at the age of 19. After nearly four years of performing on stage with bands and as a solo artist, James decided to record an album of original material which was recorded over a week in late 2011. His second album, 'Cold Moon', was released in 2015.
