Brian James, Guitar, Vocals, Songwriter

Nashville guitar slinger and frontman Brian James brings his brand of blues and soul revival to the stage every time he sets foot on it. The Nashville 2014 Blues Challenge Winner and 2015 NIMA Nomination (Best Performer) reawakens the real music inspired by the pioneers while authentically contributing to the future of roots music. As a fiery national touring act, Brian James and his band have played festivals and clubs, building a loyal following anywhere they go. The energy, emotion and feeling pours out of every step of that strut as he glides across the stage its an interactive, infectious exchange, like a dance, with his audience. He’s just doing what he loves and when you are in the crowd, you feel it. This guy is real and … he’s real good.
“To watch Brian onstage is to be totally enthralled and charmed by him. He is a cross between Jimi Hendrix with a touch of the Allman Brothers mixed right in to bring a performance that is all Brian James.” – (Andy Ellis, The Guitar Show)

Laurie Morvan Band is a 5-piece high energy, rockin’ blues band based in Long Beach, CA that honed its
distinctively tight sound through joyful, relentless, and ever-expanding touring throughout the USA, Canada,
Mexico and Europe, amassing over 80 festival performances along the way.
“Tasty yet blistering Strat work that hits all the right notes and overflows with soul.” (Vintage Guitar).
Picture this. A tall, blue-eyed blonde steps up to the microphone, a guitar in her hands and confidence in her
soul. She launches into a set of hot, modern blues, spiced with burning guitar solos, soulful harmonies and
compelling songwriting. Her in-between song banter is affable and relatable, and she wants to bring a healing
joy to your heart through her music.
Get to know the Laurie Morvan Band in just 60 seconds! https://youtu.be/hUmx5RHLV8g
Laurie’s GRAVITY CD, released in 2018, made the 1st Round Grammy Ballot for Best Contemporary Blues, and
was nominated for Best Blues Album in the prestigious Downbeat Reader’s Poll. Recorded with Grammy and
BMA Award winning producer/drummer Tony Braunagel, it features 12 of Laurie’s original songs all punctuated
with her creative, signature guitar playing. The band also garnered the attention of the international market with
a nomination for Best New Artist in the Independent Blues Awards.
“Laurie is one hell of a great guitarist and if you have not had the pleasure of seeing her, put it on your must do
list!” (Blues Blast). “Morvan has all the soulfulness of Bonnie Raitt and the swaggering, muscular guitar tone of
Stevie Ray Vaughan” (News Gazette, Champaign IL).
In addition to Laurie’s fiery guitar work, Laurie Morvan Band performances feature crowd-pleasing harmonies of
backup singer/percussionist Lisa Morvan along with dueling solos between Laurie and keyboardist Tom Salyers,
fueled by the tight-as-nails rhythm section of bassist Pat Morvan and drummer Lonnie Jones.
The band’s “Fire It Up!” CD won the Blues Foundation Award for Best Self-Produced CD at the 2010
International Blues Challenge (IBC), a worldwide competition held in Memphis, TN. The Big Ten TV Network
featured the Laurie Morvan Band in their very own half-hour TV special, which was filmed live at the Elnora
Guitar Festival in Champaign, IL and was aired nationwide. Continuing the lineage of recording excellence, the
band’s next release, Breathe Deep, was a semi-finalist for Best Self-Produced CD at the 2012 IBC.
Making their first big splash on the national blues scene in 2008 at the International Blues Challenge, the Laurie
Morvan Band was a finalist for best live band while simultaneously their CD, Cures What Ails Ya, was a finalist
for Best Self-Produced CD. Other accolades include twice being named the House of Blues Radio Hour “Blues
Breaker” artist of the week, a B.B. King’s Bluesville “Picks to Click”, and winning the Blues Festival Guide’s
Blues Artist on the Rise Award.
Throughout her career, Laurie’s unique, creative guitar style has been highlighted in the world’s top guitar
magazines. “Morvan singes the strings with fast, clean chicken pickin’, reaches heights of lyrical ecstasy through
liquid bends, and kicks the rhythm in the pocket with propulsive comping” (Guitar Player). “Stunning California
axe slinger…exhilarating electric blues guitar style” (Modern Guitars).
