James Beavis

About

Jimi Beavis’ music is a sweaty palm on a hand raised in praise. Praise of the old greats of blues and roots and a contemporary body of work that has only just begun. That hand clasps a rough brandy while the other hand clasps a harmonica tight. While he is largely inspired by blues greats such as Robert Johnson and Little Walter he has taken detours to the funk and soul of the 1960s and 70s to the jazz and gutbucket blues that dangle their spidery legs through all genres, especially the eclecticism and biblical weirdry of contemporary musicians such as Tom Waits, Nick Cave and the Carolina Chocolate Drops. These musicians have all influenced Jimi’s songwriting for his current show, although it is heavily steeped in the blues that dominates his 2013 album Gentleman Giant. He will be releasing his second album Post Apocalyptic Love Songs in June, 2016.
