James Bruner Touring with Those Damn Crows

Out now is ‘Switchblade’ the new single, out on Maroon Records, Nashville based singer-songwriter James Bruner who’s currently on tour in Europe with Those Damn Crows, and heading tothe  UK in October.

Having come of age amidst skateboard culture in Springfield, Illinois, Bruner was drawn towards artists like Roxy Music, David Bowie & Iggy Pop as opposed to what his friends were listening to at the time. Watching how skaters executed their craft on videos featuring Iggy Pop’s ‘Lust For Life’, Rod Stewart’s ‘Every Picture Tells A Story’ and Black Sabbath’s ‘Paranoid’ inspired him to get a guitar aged 15.

He was soon to join local band Unchained as lead vocalist and on rhythm guitar – but it was when he moved to Nashville that his focus on songwriting & working with topflight musicians began to bear fruit.

Full band shows as a solo artist began in 2023 and since then he has honed his craft as a live performer playing hundreds of shows across the USA, Europe and UK.

‘Switchblade’ is a first of a number of singles coming across 2025 to coincide with him playing to audiences across Europe. It is available here.
