Item Description

All proceeds from this event will support the YMCA Boulton Center’s mission to continue programming marquee entertainment, providing a space where both audience and performer can enjoy the intimacy of a small room and artistic excellence.

Auction is for 11 by 17 inch tour poster on heavy paper stock from 2011 autographed by James Hunter and other members of his band.

James  Hunter's career began with a band called Howlin' Wilf and the Vee-Jays, who released their first album in 1986 entitled Cry Wilf. Later he released three more with his own band. He spent much of the 1990s playing small clubs in London, such as the Weavers Pub in Islington (North London), and the 100 Club on Oxford Street in London. Hunter's soulful style drew the attention of Van Morrison who appeared on Hunter's first album, Believe What I Say, in 1996. Hunter's relationship with Morrison led to a tour with the latter in the early nineties; he sang backing vocals on Morrison's 1994 live album.  Hunter's first solo release in the United States, his 2006 breakthrough album People Gonna Talk, was nominated for a Grammy at the 49th Grammy Awards ceremony.
