• McIntyre Hall Presents: The James Hunter Six

McIntyre Hall presents The James Hunter Six. It’s been 10 years since the Englishman James Hunter burst onto the scene with his U.S. debut People Gonna Talk (GO/Rounder 2006), topping the Billboard Blues chart, earning a Grammy-nomination, and attracting universal acclaim from critics and his Fans — including Van Morrison, Sharon Jones, and Allen Toussaint.

Over the last decade, he’s toured extensively around the world on the club, theatre, and festival circuits, and his follow-ups The Hard Way and Minute By Minute (GO/Fantasy), further cemented Hunter’s reputation as a soul powerhouse, heralded for his talents both as a live performer and perhaps even more so as a songwriter, with The New Yorker describing his “tight, taut compositions” as “rooted in American soul music without being bound to it.” Now Hunter is back with his fourth album, Hold On! Marking his debut on Daptone Records, America’s premier soul imprint and Hunter’s second collaboration with famed producer Gabriel Roth aka Bosco Mann.
