Nile St. James is a 23 year old singer/songwriter from Limerick City, Ireland. With a unique voice, capable of delivering powerhouse blasts of soulful passion and almost immediately transitioning to a well controlled and pure falsetto, it is no surprise that St. James has been heralded as A one to watch for 2017.

A self-confessed wordsmith, St. James fuses his versatile vocals with brutally honest and heart-wreching lyrics. Stories that tell the tales of love, loss and everything in between you can clearly hear the effect of lyrical idols Stevie Nickes and Joni Mitchell have had on the young newcomer.

With a set of high-energy funk tunes and stripped back folk ballads, Nile St. James gives an honest and passionate performance that takes an audience through a spectrum of emotions.

Nile St. James debut single ‘Fell For You,’ is set for release come June 2017.

Based in Dundalk, Ireland, the band’s name, ‘Sonnets and Sisters’, reflects the dreamy lyrics present in their original compositions while also attempting to encapsulate the family type bond which exists between the members. Their music is hallmarked by haunting harmonies intertwined with powerful and catchy chorus lines which sweep the audience along in a sea of airy optimism. The band are currently concentrating on releasing new music and extending their fan base with highlights being performances at Carrickmacross Arts Festival 2016, Whelan’s January Ones To Watch 2017 and the Oxjam Tent and Body & Soul stage at Irish festival Electric Picnic to name a few. They have an exciting 2017 ahead of them with performances at top Irish festivals including Vantasival and Body&Soul and the release of their debut EP.
