James King - what is there to say about the bluesman that's been called 'Canada's Blues King'? That huge staggering voice has matured, delivering more soulful and compelling vocal magic than ever, from deep growling Texas Blues to silky blue-eyed Memphis Soul - James King impresses!

"James King & the Jackhammers" is a Toronto-based 4 piece Texas Blues & Classic Rock band infusing personality-driven roots rock music with influences from Texas Blues, Memphis Blues, as well as 70's Classic Rock, Soul, vintage and southern rock.
.
Inspired by blues legends like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Blind Mississippi Morris, Willie Dixon, etc. as well as by contemporary blues-rockers like ZZ Top, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie-Ray Vaughan, Lang, Bonamassa, Haynes, and Trucks, they ignite the old-school blues standards, but clearly this is NOT your grandfather's blues band.

One interviewer recently said: "James King and the Jackhammer Blues Band' sounds like the love-child that would result from ZZ Top and Stevie Ray hooking up for a wild weekend with Muddy Waters."
