ERAN JAMES CONFIRMED TO SUPPORT ELTON JOHN’S HUNTER VALLEY & ADELAIDE SHOWS

ERAN JAMES CONFIRMED TO SUPPORT ELTON JOHN’S HUNTER VALLEY & ADELAIDE SHOWS

PRESS RELEASE : FRIDAY 9^th SEPTEMBER, 2011

An endorsement from the one and only Elton John is one like no other; and so after the great success of teaming up together for Elton’s last tour of Australia, Chugg Entertainment are today thrilled to confirm that Eran James will be supporting once again for the shows in the Hunter Valley on Saturday 3^rd & Sunday 4^th December at Hope Estate as well as the Adelaide show at Coopers Brewery on Friday 9^th December.

Eran James has come a long way from the precocious child star with a record deal at 13 and a New York studio album under  his belt at 16. Now 22 and an accomplished guitarist, keyboard man and songwriter, Eran has transformed from ‘the beautiful boy with the beautiful voice’ to a strong sensitive passionate singer-songwriter in the mould of a Jackson Browne or Cat Stevens. Eran sings and writes about his extraordinary life, his personal joys and sorrows and his hopes and fears for the world’s underdogs.  He puts a lot of this change down to Elton John, who spotted Eran’s potential and became his personal advisor.

Of his thoughts on Elton John, Eran James said “I regard Elton very much as a friend as well as a mentor. I supported his 2008 Aussie tour and he invited me back to the UK where I spent two very hard but fulfilling years developing as a writer and musician.  When Elton decides that you have something special he really wants to bring it out. Rufus (Wainwright), Lily (Allen), me and others are the recipients of this wisdom and generosity.  He encouraged me to grow as a writer and performer and to stick to the music which meant the most to me.  Being back on the road with Elton is an immense pleasure.”

Don’t miss the rare opportunity to hear one of the world’s greatest pop musicians in spectacular form when the Rocket Man touches down this summer.

Whats going on?

Oh no…. I just looked at this website… My last blog was in March!

Still no bloody internet at my new place, . Using the mobile
Well I worked at a call centre flogging internet in London for two years so I know just how full of crap they are… God I seem so angry at the moment. This is not like me.

The music has really taken the back foot. Still haven’t really spoken to my Dad, its not my character but i feel i cant give in so easily this time.
I think it’s good for me to blog and let it out – im not sure how far i should take it? Sharing with everyone whats really going on within… my father has really done my head in.

I love him with all my heart but I have to say I don’t like him much at the moment. It’s complicated!

And now I’ve even got Robin nagging me from the UK to post another song and asking when the next gig is….OK OK man, I’m on it! I know he’s right but it looks like I’m a temperamental artist after all, not a telesales guru!

The worst and best of all this is that the little creative demon on my shoulder is watching me jump up and down and is whispering “There’s at least two good songs to come out of this crap Eran” – dear oh dear as my auntie would say….

My next Gig is @ The Wesley Anne  ( June 2nd ) $5.00 Entry. Doors @ 8:30PM + Special guests Robert John Sedky & Bridget Pross.

250 High Street, Northcote Hill – Melbourne ( 9482 1333 )

Eran James Show Dates

I’ve been moved in many ways by the unfolding events over the past month.

With so much disaster, loss & unrest in our world. My deepest heartfelt love is with the vulnerable & lost people of our times.

For those of you who visit my blog from time to time, will know that in February I set out to find anywhere to play.  Firstly I’d like to thank everyone so much. With the help of you all & the overwhelming response to my blog, I’m excited to announce my very first shows.

I have received a great deal of interest from all corners of Australia, but to start off my first shows will be in Melbourne. I will also be supported by some very special & talented guest acts.

I love supporting local artists, so if your interested in filling a support guest slot for an up & coming show contact me info@eranjames.com

I look forward to meeting you all at my shows.
