The Artists

Sweet Baby James

Something triggered in Sweet Baby James, 29, when he heard Eric Clapton’s 'Cocaine' at age 15.

James’ debut album 'Rhythm ‘n’ Blues' is a cornucopia of assorted Blues styles - there’s delicate fingerpicking, growling slide guitar and sparse country Blues evoking wild nights at the traditional juke joints in America’s deep south.

The Adelaide-based blues guitarist has shared the stage with Jeff Healy and Canadian Blues queen Sue Foley. In 2003 James played his original 'Bullet Through My Heart' on Canadian national television. He appeared on the 13-part documentary series 'Talkin’ Blues' alongside B.B. King, Clarence ‘Gatemouth’ Brown, Pinetop Perkins and other blues legends.

Rob Eyers, originally from London and now living in Adelaide, completes the duo on percussion.

Sweet Baby James was 2007 Australian Blues Music Festival (Goulburn NSW) ambassador.
