James Hearne Solo guitarist/singer, over 1200 covers in many genres

As a solo artist, James has been in Austin just over three years and have already put in over 700 gigs. He has 40+ original songs, and also a covers book of over 1200 songs, ranging from oldies and classic country to to 80s and 90s rock to contemporary pop and hitting most points in between. He's able to hold a room's attention with song choices and banter, or to settle into the background and provide a solid soundtrack for people to hang out, just depends on the room and the vibe. He is energetic enough to hang on a stage alongside full bands and he can fingerpick his way around with the quietest singer-songwriters. He can provide and run his own sound, play 40 minutes or 4 hours with aplomb, and entertain all audiences.
