James Harries

Versatile British singer-songwriter and film composer James Harries returns to the stage with a European tour to celebrate "Love & Desire": an album that has since become one of his most acclaimed releases.

Recorded live in just three days, "Love & Desire" is a raw, warm and emotionally honest album that has clearly struck a chord. Since its release, the album has been nominated for a Czech Music Award, voted Album of the Year by several Czech music magazines and received rave reviews across the UK and Ireland.

Originally from Manchester, Harries has been commuting between the UK and the Czech Republic and touring the UK, Europe and the USA for over two decades. During this time he has shared the stage with artists such as Jamie Cullum, Glen Hansard, Oh Wonder, The Levellers, Wayne Shorter and Stewart Lee. With millions of streams, a loyal European fan base and music that has gained additional reach through film and television productions, he is at a creative peak.

A masterful performer, Harries is known for creating a powerful, intimate atmosphere both solo and with a full band. His distinctive voice, understated arrangements and blend of indie-folk, soul and cinematic warmth captivate audiences - with intimacy, humor and emotional depth, he makes every show a unique, shared and immersive experience.

With the 2026 fall tour, Harries returns to Germany with new material - raw, haunting and delivered with the honesty and warmth that have become his trademark.
