Early James live in Spring Green

Experience Early James live on June 10th

Early James is scheduled to perform at Shi-Tty Barn in Spring Green, Wisconsin on June 10, 2026. James’s music blends elements of blues, country, and folk, often described as raw and emotionally direct. His sound incorporates slide guitar, harmonica, and a distinctive vocal style drawing comparisons to artists like R.L. Burnside and early Tom Waits. He gained prominence through self-released recordings and extensive touring before signing with a major label.

Shi-Tty Barn is an outdoor music venue located in rural Spring Green, known for its intimate setting and focus on Americana, roots, and alternative country acts. Established in 2018 by musician Ben Wegner, the barn itself is a repurposed agricultural structure offering a rustic atmosphere. The venue deliberately maintains a deliberately unpolished aesthetic; the name itself reflects this approach. It has become a popular stop for touring musicians seeking a more unconventional performance space and has hosted numerous nationally recognized artists within its genre focus. The venue's capacity is relatively small, fostering close interaction between performers and audiences.
