James Morrison to tour South Africa

British singer-songwriter and guitarist James Morrison is heading our way. And we Can. Not. Wait.

When he broke onto the scene as a soulful singer-songwriter in 2006, even he couldn’t have predicted that he would become the template that allowed a wave of like minded musicians to enter the field. Now, almost 10 years on, Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, George Ezra and James Bay are all crowding the charts, following the same format. One guy with a great, soulful voice and a guitar. And what a voice! Raspy and gravelly, it was described by veteran soul producer Jerry Wexler as so distinctive that ‘once heard, never forgotten’.

This year Morrison has made a brand-new album that is his most honest and powerful set of songs yet. To be released next year, the album explores his relationship, being a father and his family, as well as his experiences with dark times and light . it’s an album which sees the return of James Morrison to his soulful best.

Morrison’s tour kicks off at Montecasino’s Teatro with 8pm concerts on Tuesday and Wednesday Jan 22 and 23 January.
