Simon Foster and James Dean @The Tasting Rooms
After many years of working closely on various projects ranging from Pop and Blues, to Yacht Rock and Jazz, Simon and James have come together as a duo to bring some of their favourite songs from the last five decades, working together to produce a result that is sure to delight fans of hook-laden songs, subtle and emotional guitar playing and soulful vocals, tapping into a multitude of influences along the way.
Simon Foster was described by Karamel Music Club as “like Joe Cocker in Van Morrison s hat and James Morrison s socks. Ace!” Hugely respected by all his musical peers!
James Dean has been playing guitar for more than thirty years. From the JD Blues Band to his acclaimed Jazz album “Here and Now” his flexible and lyrical guitar style across a vast range of genres, has seen him perform with a range of bands including The Baltimore Keys, EK1, The Blues Bandits, Monsters on a Leash and the Westcoast All Stars!
