Shawn James

Tuesday, February 17, 2026 - Gorilla Manchester, Manchester

Shawn James brings his powerful roots sound to Gorilla in the United Kingdom on 17 February 2026, leading a gig that draws on blues, folk and rock. Known for his commanding vocals and narrative songwriting, he arrives in Manchester following a run of singles including “Like a Stone”, “Pendulum Swing” and “Burn the Witch”. Tracks such as “A Good Friend Is Hard to Find” and “Bad Moon Rising” have become touchstones in his set, giving this performance a strong mix of older favourites and newer material. Fans of richly arranged Americana and moody, guitar-led storytelling will find plenty to explore.
