Reuben James featuring Chris Dave and David “DJ” Ginyard Reuben James British pianist, songwriter and bandleader Reuben James is redefining modern soul & jazz music. Raised on Birmingham's vibrant jazz circuit, James' virtuosity calls upon his Jamaican musical heritage, British soul, funk and contemporary R&B; alive with freedom and energy that is unmistakably and uniquely his own. His musicianship has placed him alongside titans such as Sam Smith, Tom Misch, Disclosure, Joni Mitchell, Roy Ayers and Brandi Carlile; but James' own music is where his identity comes fully into focus. A virtuosic pianist and instinctive bandleader, Reuben James is a master of transforming songs into the spiritual; alchemizing spontaneous and transcendent passages of time, to the chagrin of audiences around the world. With over 90 million streams and a growing international audience, Reuben James is carving out his own lane — an unmistakable sound where soul, jazz and R&B collide for his first ever headline US shows. Chris Dave There’s a good chance you’ve heard Chris Dave play drums, even if you didn’t know it was him. Over the last 20 years, the Houston-born percussionist, bandleader, and producer has played with some of the most revered names in jazz and R&B, offering his unique drumming style to songs by D’Angelo, Justin Bieber,The Robert Glasper Experiment, and Adele. The Roots’s bandleader Ahmir Questlove Thompson once called Dave “the most dangerous drummer alive,” a characterization that Dave playfully dismisses. “I don’t believe that at all,” he deadpanned during a recent interview. Maybe that’s why he endures: He lets the work speak for itself. And his music is so resonant that it does just that. DJ Ginyard
