James Perryman is an alt-country singer-songwriter hailing from West London who has just released his third studio EP, The Narrow Gate.

He has been compared to artists such as Ryan Adams, Father John Misty & The Lone Bellow, due to a broad style that ranges from intimate acoustic songs through to full-on foot stomping rock.

Perryman is best known for his work with Australian siblings Angus & Julia Stone and London duo The Honey Ants. This led directly to the recruiting of his own band featuring Tom Quillfeldt (bass) and Rob Pennel (drums). The trio’s early work can be heard on the Live at the Wilmington Arms EP.

Vocalist Olivia Coghill soon joined the three-piece, resulting in the subsequent EPs: To Whom it May Concern and Consumed by the View.

Following an extended break (in which Perryman had two sons) the single Why Do You Only Love Me When I’m Stoned? This paved the way for a broader sound and concepts. Says James: “I just wanted to go bigger, better and more beautiful this time around. After all, it’s been a while…”

The new EP The Narrow Gate was released on 16 April 2018 and is co-produced by The Honey Ants frontman, John Grimsey.
