Jo James

Jo James is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist rooted in gritty Americana, blues, and soul. His music is raw and heartfelt, shaped by the dirt of real life and the fire of redemption. From the first time he picked up a guitar at eight years old to finding his voice in church, Jo has always known music as more than sound, it’s been a way to survive, to heal, and to connect.

His songs are born from experience: the highs, the heartbreak, the long nights of wrestling with purpose, identity, and faith. After walking through seasons of deep struggle, personally and spiritually, Jo found real healing through his relationship with God. That journey, full of pain and restoration, has shaped every note he plays and every lyric he writes.

On stage, Jo transforms every room into something deeper than a concert. His performances are soul-stirring, gritty, and full of truth, more like an electric front-porch revival than a show. He’s not chasing fame. He’s chasing connection. He writes and performs to reach the weary, the searching, and anyone hungry for something real.

For Jo James, music isn’t about spotlight, it’s about soul. It’s about presence. And it’s about leaving people a little lighter, a little more seen, and a little more hopeful than they were before.
