James & The Electrics are something different in the alternative genre... or blues rock... or indie... well it's all music so just sit back and enjoy.

Birmingham-born Philip James started writing songs and playing in original bands from the age 15, appearing at Glastonbudget and the O2 Academy among other venues. Excited to learn different styles, in 2013 he left England for a voyage of musical self-discovery across America, spending several months on the road. By the time he arrived in Chicago he decided he'd gone full circle and inspired by his trek, he returned to the midlands to start a new band concentrating on creating their own kind of music.

James and The Electrics provides a vehicle for Philip’s creativity and musical experiments, calling on the wider musicianship of his blues and rock backgrounds, expanding them with a complex mixture of other styles. With this platform he’s been able to write freely to give the band a unique and distinctive sound which combines melody, techique and versatility.

A native of southern France, drummer Tommy Schell started to play at 14 years old on a kit belonging a friend and it swiftly became a real passion.

As the The Electrics' bass player, Ricky Bloom is a hard working and talented musician striving for excellence. Ricky has been involved in many musical projects in different countries around the world and he has one goal, to entertain.
