Fellow hat enthusiast. Skinny boy in skinny black jeans. Rocker/british babe with a gentle soul. That is, newcomer James Bay, all the way from across the pond. A skilled guitarist, singer-songwriter and undeniable good looks have all the American girls wishfully believingย to have found their one true soulmate - that is, if he would even notice them within the crowd. I confess, I didn't get him to notice me but I did get to shoot him as up close as I could at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. His one man show easily pleasesย the crowd with sing-a-longs to Alicia Key's 'If I Ain't Got You' and his own hit 'Hold Back The River', his witty english remarks in between, and a guitar for every mood. He played some acoustics, some semi-acoustics, and a whole lot of electronic.ย Oh, what a one fine skill!
