James Keith understands the power of positivity and it fuels him like firewood to a flame.
It’s a theme that runs through the heart of his high energy brand of Country Rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
James discovered a passion for music working on his family’s vineyard in Orange, NSW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Dad would have vinyls and CDs which we would play all day long.” However, before a career in
music he followed in his father’s footsteps – Peter Mortimer; a professional rugby league
player, alongside uncles Steve and Chris Mortimer – and donned the jersey for Manly.
It was back in his hometown that James holed up with producer, Craig Honeysett, at Dotted
Eight Studios to craft his debut album, ‘Life Is Good Today’. Pounding drums, blistering
guitars and anthemic choruses became the keystones that support James’ autobiographical
tales of positivity and persistence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ‘Say I Do’ video clip, approved for CMT’s locals only and New Country Playlists, features a ‘real life’ marriage proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘Life is Good Today’ has been James’ mantra ever since a trip to Nashville, TN in 2011. “All
the cover bands kept playing this song with the lyrics “life is good today” which really
resonated with me.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
James’ songs brim with unbridled positivity and optimism. “I look at the positive to every
situation and want my music to bring people joy not dwell on negatives.” That’s James in a
nutshell – ask anyone – his three children, his four brothers or his father; all of whom are the
inspiration behind the family orientated debut album.
Life is Good Today is set for release in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
