Alabama-born and based singer-songwriter Early James has spent years finely tuning his Americana roots sound. On the heels of releasing Medium Raw, his third Dan Auerbach-produced record for Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound record label, James and his backing band are stopping by to share some of the tunes that have shaped them ahead of an intimate show at Gold-Diggers tonight. Tune in for tales of being pelted by pillows at football camp (and retreating to jazz band as a result), the finer points of recording in houses, and the similarities between Nintendo music and ragtime.

Catch Early James and his band at Gold-Diggers in Hollywood tonight with support from Will Worden and peep more tour dates here. Find Medium Raw at a record store or DSP near you. 

Early James’ KCRW Guest Selects:

“Wish You Were Here” – Pink Floyd

“Right Hand on My Heart” – The Whigs

“Palestine Texas” – T-Bone Burnett

“DK Rap (Player2 Remix) [2023 Radio Edit]” – Player 2
