Vinnie James

Vinnie James

Vinnie James was a soloist in his father’s Baptist church choir at the age of 8. Nurtured on songs such as “Oh Happy Day,” “Jesus, Lover Of My Soul,” and “Let Us Go Into the House of the Lord,” he developed an earthy, raw, dusky vocal style, and a delivery that is often reminiscent of his father's raw pulpit preaching style. James has been compared to fiery folk-soul artists such as Richie Havens, Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Ron Townson, and Percy Sledge. He draws his inspirational roots from this handful of iconic singer/songwriters, each known for bringing a raw soul edge to Folk and Americana music.
