Graeme James, one of the country’s most streamed indie artists, is hitting the road to tour his Nettwerk label debut album The Long Way Home. It’s been a whirlwind of a year for the muso, who went international and racked up a cool 25,000km on his extensive – and highly successful – North American tour. Boasting 20million streams on Spotify, James has garnered a loyal fan base and there’s a rumour that his New Zealand shows are on the cusp of selling out. Catch the wild talents of James – he can effortlessly play the electric violin, guitar, bass, baritone ukulele, mandolin, harmonica and percussion while stomping on his famous loop pedal – when he hits Blue Smoke, May 18.
