With an irresistible mix of swinging blues stomp and 60s pop refrains Mother James entered the stages in Stockholm, Sweden during 2005, and was immediately appreciated as a fabulous live act and a welcomed contrast to all the boring crying-in-your-beer singer/songwriters. Mother James was formed by songwriter Stefan Petersson and the name of the project was taken from legendary soul and jazz vocalist Etta James, who serves as an inspirational muse for the act. Among the musicians you may find some distinguished characters like Goran Kajfes, Per "Ruskträsk" Johansson, guitarist Mattias Johansson (Tiger Lou) and pianist David Myhr (The Merrymakers). www.motherjames.com www.myspace.com/motherjames
