Take a bow, Arnold!

Aug 12, 2022

Arnold McCuller, James’s longtime friend and backing vocalist, has decided to hang up his hat and retire from touring life after almost 50 years on the road with James and so many great artists. While the summer 2022 US tour was Arnold’s last full swing with James and his All-Star Band, Arnold will pop in now and then in the future we hope. Coming up this month: Arnold will join James on August 29 and 30 at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway Park in Boston. UK fans may catch a glimpse this fall as well.
