Leo James is an English singer, songwriter, guitarist, and music tutor.
Drawing influence from past and present musicians from both sides of the Atlantic, Leo has followed his passion for Acoustic Blues, Roots, Americana and Folk, and has received tutelage from some notable players along the way.
Leo’s music has been described as a soulful mix of warm husky vocals, intricate finger style guitar and shimmering slide guitar work accompanying skilfully written songs, and tasteful arrangements of traditional material.
Leo has spent many years teaching guitar and performing live throughout the UK’s festival, pub and folk club scene, both in ensembles, and as a solo performer, and he is just as happy playing on the big stage as he is in the corner of a crowded pub.

An accomplished lap steel slide guitarist who’s songs reflect an Appalachian / Blues / Bluegrass feel - UK Folk Music
