Gabriel James celebrates the release of his fourth full length studio album, "Claro," with his full band and special guests Megonia.

Gabriel James is a Minneapolis singer-songwriter backed by a gifted group of funky, jazzy musicians. With an extensive roster of clubs and venues strewn across the U.S., Gabriel has followed-up his refreshing songwriting style with intense live performances since 2002. After a musical hiatus following the release of ‘Fits to Pitch,’ Gabriel and his band are back in full swing with the release of his fourth full-length studio album, Claro. This release marks a distinct evolution in Gabriel’s songwriting: The album is a collection of tracks that displays an artist who has truly discovered his sound and his musical voice.

As a songwriter in an overcrowded genre, Gabriel and his band distinguish themselves with creative, catchy and honest songwriting, talent without the wanker, and live performances that are engaging and inspiring.
