James Leg, whose real name is John Wesley Myers, is a seasoned musician known for his gritty vocals and fervent piano playing that fuse elements of blues, rock, and soul into an incendiary blend of modern American music. Born into a musical family, with a preacher father, who played the piano and a church organist mother, Leg's music is deeply rooted in the rich traditions of the American South. His upbringing paved the way for a sound that's soaked in religious imagery, Delta blues traditions, and rock 'n' roll energy.
Over the years, James Leg has carved out a niche for himself in the music world with a series of powerful solo albums. His discography features titles like "Below The Belt" (2015), a raucous and spirited record that showcases his boisterous energy and insightful songwriting. Followed by "Blood On The Keys" (2016), Leg doubled down on his robust playing style and raw vocal power, which has become his trademark. Delving deeper into an almost cathartic level of emotional expression, "Solitary Pleasure" (2011) offers a blend of pounding keys and earthy, heart-wrenching vocals. With subsequent releases such as "Human Lawn Dart" (2014), "Hugging The Line" (2019), and "All But Gone" (2020), James Leg has continued to deliver intense performances that solidify his status as a torchbearer of the contemporary blues-rock scene while redefining the boundaries of the genre with his unique sound and unapologetic storytelling.
