Catching William James live is a lesson in effortless musical chemistry. James possesses an incredible command over the guitar. His fingers dance across the strings with a precision that never feels sterile. He handles electrifying classic rock and R&B covers with the exact same passion and technical “mad skill” that he injects into his original tracks. Backing James up is a genuinely monstrous rhythm engine. The band features the locking groove of bassist Darrell Lacy paired with the flawless timekeeping of Grammy Award-winning drummer Michael Aguilar. Together, they lay down a bulletproof, heavy-hitting foundation. The William James Band doesn’t just play the blues; they foster the community around it. From hosting high-energy local jams for the Houston Blues Society to keeping dive-bar dance floors packed until 1:00 AM, they are local live-music royalty. Prepare yourself for a night of incredible guitar mastery.
