James R. Thomas is a Welsh fingerstyle guitarist whose passionate, emotive and intricate playing
enchants his audience with intimate stories told through the guitar. His original music, which
simultaneously weaves beautiful harmonies, enthralling melodies, tribal guitar percussion and
tasteful use of harmonics, takes listeners on a unique and thought-provoking journey.

Having travelled with his guitar for a number of years, James has been influenced by a
number of cultures and styles: modern and classical fingerstyle guitar in many different forms, the folk aspect of his strong
Welsh background, the multicultural music hub that is Australia and, of course, the ancient sounds developed by the indigenous Aboriginal people of the land using instrumenrts such as the Yidaki (didgeridoo). This, combined with inspiration from traveling and finding his authentic expression, has inspired James' uniquely crafted style of playing that creates epic,
cinematic and powerful music.

James' travels around Australia during the last three years have led to him being seen all around
the country busking and performing; cultivating James' artistic expression and style, through
which audiences are visually and sonically captivated by his virtuosic performances.
Witnessing James' music first-hand is a transportational experience that will leave
listener's souls nourished and spirits lifted. 

I look forward to sharing a space with you!
