5 | 6 | 7 Nathan James & guests6:00 pm Blues $8 cover  Nathan James & guestsOctober 7, 2025 @ 6:00 pm An evening of original blues and roots music by the Nathan James trio featuring special guest from Barcelona Spain, Victor Puertas on Hammond organ, harmonica and vocals.
Nathan James is a well known and respected roots and blues guitarist/vocalist and songwriter based in the San Jacinto Mountains, CA. He immersed himself in the blues as a teenager and joined blues legend James Harman’s band by the age of 19. With Harman, he toured all over the USA learning and playing the blues right where it came from before starting his own solo career. Nathan quickly fell in love with all of the traditions of roots American music and has done his homework in styles ranging from pre-war rural piedmont and delta blues, to big city rhythm & blues to soul and country. Nathan’s original sound is a mix of all of these styles and much more. When he’s not leading his own band or performing solo, Nathan often backs up harmonica legends Kim Wilson and Rod Piazza among others.
No stranger to backing up blues harmonica, in 2013 Nathan recorded on the Grammy nominated live recording ‘A Tribute to Little Walter’ playing behind Charlie Musselwhite, Billy Boy Arnold, James Harman, Sugar Ray Norcia and Mark Hummel. He has also recorded with the great Kim Wilson on his October 2017 release ‘Boogie and Blues Vol 1.’, and another Kim Wilson album to be released in Fall of 2025. In 2007 alongside vocalist/harmonica player Ben Hernandez, they won the international blues challenge in Memphis, TN and went on to perform at the Taipei Blues Festival in Taiwan.
Nathan regularly tours the USA, Canada, Europe and South America playing his original roots and blues music. Considering himself a songwriter first and foremost, Nathan has released 11 albums under his own name featuring mostly original material. Nathan can hold his own performing solo, with his band, or backing up just about anybody on stage or in the studio.
Victor Puertas from Barcelona Spain is one of the highest in demand blues musicians in Europe. A multi instrumentalist on Hammond organ, piano, harmonica, vocals, and sometimes seen on uke bass or guitar. When not fronting one of his many own bands, he is often playing in a duo with his brother Santos called the Suitcase Brothers with whom he won second place at the international blues challenge in Memphis. Endorsed by Hohner harmonicas, Victor often gives masterclasses all over Europe for the instrument.
Nathan and Victor met in 2011 while both were playing at the Barcelona Blues fest and instantly found a connection with the music they love in traditional blues. Victor will be in California for a Fall tour based around the illustrious Redwood Music Festival in Eureka.

 Billboard Top 10 Blues Artist, 2020 IBC Winner, and JUNO Nominee, Canadian singer/guitarist JW-Jones is known for his high-energy shows! After winning “Best Guitarist” at the 2020 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Jones started working on his 12th release ‘Everything Now’ [May 26, 2023], an all-original project with special guest Jimmie Vaughan, and production by Gordie Johnson (Big Sugar). “Songs! It’s all about the songs!” said the JUNO-nominated Jones, whose searing axemanship has been praised in recent years by legendary blues artists Buddy Guy and Chuck Leavell (The Rolling Stones). “While there are plenty of burning lead guitar solos, I wanted to open up and get more personal than ever with the lyrics. From the true story ‘Papa’s in the Pen’ to ‘When You Left’ that I sang with tears rolling down my cheeks about my mother’s passing, these are stories that I feel like I can finally share through my music.” The frequent resident of Billboard’s Top 10 Blues charts and roots radio favourite continues to accelerate his career momentum to new heights, whether it’s as a personally requested sit-in with the likes of 8-time Grammy winner Buddy Guy, opening for blues-rock icon George Thorogood, or entertaining thrilled audiences in 23 countries and four continents. www.jw-jones.com / @jwjonesblues | 30 | 31 | 1 |
