James Hollingsworth
Riveting, powerful, and deep Best Describes James Hollingsworth both Lyrically and vocally. With roots in Texas swing and blues, He combines different old and new styles of music to create something unique in itself. With 8 years of classical and jazz experience, James came into his own style of playing, bringing the soul of his past to the fundamental professionalism of his present. Beginning his step out from hard-tack orchestra bands, James Started to play in local honky tonks for extra cash, learning quickly that being independent did not include heaps of extra gas money. So why continue? With each interaction, James found that not only did he feel at home in front of a rag-tag crowd, but listeners were also becoming heavily interested in his writing and pushing him for more material, bigger shows, and his own clothing line or worn out day clothes. With a fire lit underneath him and nothing to be gained other than the happiness of performing In front of others, James set out and enlisted phenomenal musicians to create a show that listeners won’t forget.
Performing around Waco for 4 years and slowly working his way farther out with each passing showtime, He is finding traction to become a talked-about figure in Texas music. This year, I have been appearing on the Beer and Wine Garden Stage at the Houston livestock show and the South Texas State Fair, and I regularly appear as a guest on Radio Stations across Texas and Oklahoma. In October 2022, he released his first single titled Trouble, and in the spring of 2023, he released his charted single Upon my Brim, complete with a music video to boot! As he gains ground with his new single, Country Music in My Veins, released in the summer of 2024, new and bigger things are on the horizon for this young man!
