James Bay

Singer-songwriter James Bay hails from a town called Hitchin in the UK. While you're scavenging for his origins on Google Maps, give in to your curiosity, press play, and become grossly attracted to Bay's gravely yet soothing voice -- a voice that's tailor-made for stripped and unplugged productions. His vocals expose the skeletal origins of his songs to deliver an unvarnished presentation of rhythm and sound.If you're in the NYC area on June 5 (that's today!), you can catch a live glimpse of the 22 year-old at the Mercury Lounge at 7pm.
