". . . the younger McCartney's promising pop-rock tunes make clear he's learned a few lessons about melody, phrasing, and charm." ~ The Boston Globe

Following a year that introduced him to international success, JAMES McCARTNEY is already headed towards an exciting and unprecedented 2013. He's fresh off the release of his two digital-only EPs, Available Light and Close At Hand, as well as his first physical release, The Complete EP Collection, a special two-disc set produced by David Kahne and papa Paul McCartney that includes the debut EPs in their entirety along with five bonus tracks. His first full-length album in 2013 lands him here in the melting pot with a US tour to more than 50 cities coast-to-coast as he performs a unique solo-acoustic show of never before-heard material mixed with fan favorites. Accompanying himself on guitar and piano, McCartney's soaring vocals, songwriting, and musicianship are highlighted in this intimate and powerful setting. Catapulted to national awareness in America with his US television debut on The Late Show with David Letterman, McCartney launched his first tour of North America with "An infectious set...[he] has clearly forged a winning sound of his own." ~ The NY Daily News. As the next phase of his career takes shape, McCartney's goals are clear. "Some artists are happy doing the same thing again and again, but my favorite artists are the ones who evolve and grow, and I want to be one of them." With a new album and multiple tours on the way in 2013, James McCartney continues raise the stakes, and in doing so he succeeds in filling some very big shoes - his own. McCartney is joined by Louisville favorite and radio darling GABE DIXON, who met James when recording with Sir Paul a few years back. Yep, this great big world just keeps getting smaller...
