Listen: James Bay – ‘Hold Back The River’

His breakthrough moment?

A songwriter steeped in classic influences, it stands to reason that James Bay has done things the old fashioned way.

Picking up his guitar and heading out on the road, the British artist has played virtually any and every venue which would have him.

And it’s paying off. New single ‘Hold Back The River’ emerges to an expectant fanbase, one already intimately familiar with his work and viewpoint. Out on November 23rd, you can tune in below:

James Bay is set to play a sold out show at London’s Scala venue on November 25th. Looking ahead, the singer will play Camden’s historic KOKO nightspot on February 12th.
