James Hurley wowed the crowd Saturday night again.  He played his heart out and even broke a few guitar strings for his audience.  What can I say, what a show.  Thanks James

  House Concert:  James Hurley

After an early stint as a rodeo bull rider, James Hurley settled into the life of professional musician, and was lead guitar for a number of bands over many years.  In late 2003, James decided to focus instead on a new career as a solo singer/songwriter acoustic performer. For James, “Performing live is where the magic is. There’s a thing that happens when you’re performing that reveals the commonalities of the human experience. I’ll play a song and when it ends, I’ll realize that the audience came along with me for the ride. Music can give us a mutual understanding that transcends language or cultural differences, three minutes at a time. Nobody really knows the words to ‘Louie Louie’ but everybody relates to it at some level.”

James’ exposure to different countries, cultures and communities, his own natural inclinations and his father’s eclectic tastes as a music aficionado have resulted in James’ music being a unique fusion of Blues, Rock, Jazz, Folk, and Adult Contemporary Acoustic with occasional Latin influences.

James helped us inaugurate our very first house concert back in November 2004, and it seems as he's become an appreciated "regular."  We are so happy welcome this personable and very entertaining performer back to the Skagit Valley!

 7:30pm at Brookhaven Lodge.  Suggested contribution:  $10.00 per person at the door ($8.00  in advance, or if you are an overnite guest at the Resort). Pricing is for adults & teens (children up to 12 years are $4.00).  10% of all concert admission income will benefit The Bullerville Foundation.
