James Coates
James Coates hails from the small town of Sumner, between Seattle and Tacoma, but bears a rich and raspy voice reeking of Southern charm. His gift for lyrical storytelling is reminiscent of Joni Mitchell, and he's opened for international acts such as Corinne Bailey Rae and Sheryl Crow. His latest album, One Last Ride, was released in 2020 and we can only hope that title isn't literal.
