Welcome to the website of JAMES WEST, one of Virginia Beach’s most popular acoustic performers, and a member of The Sporting Paddies. James is a regular performer at venues in Virginia Beach and Norfolk, inlcuding MO & O'MALLEYS IRISH PUB and MURPHY'S OF VIRGINIA BEACH. He sings an inspiring mix of traditional ballads, rowdy drinking songs and modern favorites, and he boasts one of the largest collection of Irish Rebel songs in the area. Whether you just need to wind down with a good drink and a song, or you need to let it all out with a raucous sing-a-long, you will find all that you desire at a James West show.

James is a second generation Irish-American whose family hails from County Down, Northern Ireland. He has been singing for several years. He brings a unique voice to many Irish favorites, but is also known for injecting his shows with a modern edge, including music from contemporary Irish and Celtic bands like the Saw Doctors and Great Big Sea. And occasionally, he lets his punk roots show with numbers from Flogging Molly and Social Distortion, to name a few. He might just have a few surprises up his sleeve for the fans of good old acoustic rock, as well. Don’t be afraid to make any request. If he cannot play it now, he just might add it in the future!
James is also available for hire for private parties, weddings and wakes.
