Art and music come together at the Thumbprint Gallery on Dec. 14, with an appearance from Phillip James.
There are plenty of singer-songwriters in town, but James’ soulful voice and enthusiasm for performing make him a standout performer. He released an EP earlier this year, “Music As An Addiction,” an excellent full-band showcase for his original songs, such as the up-tempo, piano-based ballad, “Café Seduction.” For this show, James will perform in solo acoustic mode, with the music providing the soundtrack to the opening of a new exhibition, “The Marks We Make: New Works” by Micah Mariah.
Phillip James: Saturday, Dec. 14, at the Thumbprint Gallery. 920 Kline St. #104. 7 p.m. All ages. Free. thumbprintgallerysd.com.
