James Blunt (aka James Hillier Blount) lived all over Europe as a child with a father in the British Army Air Corps, taking piano and violin sessions and later learning guitar and writing songs as a teenager. After graduating from the University of Bristol, Blunt served six years in the British Army and was stationed in Canada, Kosovo and Switzerland, achieving the rank of captain before he left the army in 2002. The next year, he signed to Custard Records and starting recording his first album in Los Angeles. Back to Bedlam came out in 2004, with five singles including “High,” “Wiseman,” and the smashes “You’re Beautiful” and “Goodbye My Lover,” and received five Grammy nominations. With his endearing voice, poignant and sincere lyrics, and catchy pop-rock sound, Blunt’s debut has sold over 11 million copies. His second album, 2007’s All the Lost Souls, produced the hit “1973,” and 2010’s Some Kind of Trouble featured “Stay the Night,” “So Far Gone,” and “If Time Is All I Have.” The folky lead single “Bonfire Heart” premiered in October 2013, a few weeks ahead of the release of his fourth and latest album, Moon Landing. With a world concert tour planned for 2014, this charming crooner is set to dazzle ticket holders across the globe.

James was amazing as was his opening act. I danced my ass off and sang along to every song - as did the rest of the audience. Thanks James!!! I'll be coming to see you every time you come to Vancouver!
Sadly the promotion team for James Blunt let him and his fans down with very little marketing of his recent show on May 12th at The Centre in Vancouver. Consequently, the theatre wasn't full and those that didn't attend missed a great high energy show. Blunt ran through many catchy new tunes and all the hits from previous albums. James always puts on unforgettable concerts and this was no different. Being in a smaller venue this time provided a more intimate experience. Can't wait to see him again!!!
Awesome concert! Played all his hits! We even got to meet him afterwards!
James Blunt puts on an amazing concert. There are not many artists out there that you can say you like every song on their CD but James is that kind of artist.
this was a choice of my girl friend but it wasn't bad, opening act Hanna Georgas was great a nice if quirky voice and style. Sound was great for both acts. I only knew one song , Blunt has a decent stage presence and a good voice., He reminded me of Chris De Burgh and a few Chris De Burgh covers would fit his set perfectly. was a little short at just 90 minutes but the crowd seemed happy.
He puts me in a trance. When I heard he was coming to the Royal, I purchased one ticket for myself. I was in the ninth row. Great view! He was shocked at the small theatre but I knew it was going to be a close up and personal show. He and his band sounded just like his CDs. He has a great sense of humor. The couple beside me were military and had that in common with James. I would of loved to meet him and have a picture taken. It was definitely an older crowd and there were a lot more men than I thought there would be.
First time seeing James Blunt in person and loved the show - He played a mix from all of his compositions and had folks dancing and singing. We were glad to be a part of his last show in North America......
I have been a fan of James since day one, and it was simply amazing to get to see him with friends at such a wonderful venue. He is such an awesome live artist. All of us agreed that we loved hearing him live. He sings with such emotion. Wonderful concert.
I had the pleasure of seeing James in 08 here in Vancouver so I knew he would be spectacular, and he did not disappoint! The opening act was awesome too, I highly recommend seeing both James Blunt and Hannah Georgas if you can!
Great show. James was relaxed and was enjoying himself as much as the audience was enjoying the show. It was obvious he was having fun performing, and the smaller venue meant that fun easily ensured everyone watching was instantly engaged. He played all his hits, and his newest music. No one was disappointed. We weren't...
Sound @ this theatre is fantastic but pay for good seats in order to get a good vantage point. The mezzanine is way too small! Great talent & great sound. too short :(
Loved seeing James in a smaller setting like The Center. Last time he was here, the concert was at GM Place and it was large and somewhat impersonal. In a smaller setting, he was much more engaged with the audience and you felt like you were getting to know him. He sang a good mix from all 3 albums and I would definately see him again.
The venue was perfect for James's voice! James sounds wonderful singing in person!
James Blunt concert was so enjoyable. He is talented, has a unique voice and a lot of energy. Nice music.
Loved i. Great music, great venue, I loved seeing him at the Centre since it felt like every seat in the place was a good seat and it felt intimate no matter how many others were there. Really great show.
I was an attendant for a wheelchair at the show. Once everyone stood up there was no chance of watching the show or seeing the performers after that. Very diisappointing as the show was very good itself.
Phenomenal Concert!! My husband and I sort of expected a sleeper,since most of his songs lean towards the slower ballads.It was anything but! With his warm charm and British wit he won over the audience until they hung on every move and word from him. It was clear by the mass sing-a-longs that the audience were die-hard fans. The band was TIGHT!! He clearly availed himself of some stellar musicians and they were worth listening to even without Blunt's amazing voice.Awesome concert!!
Amazing, excellent performance, outstandign respect for fans!
The James Blunt Concert was high energy and great music. Despite the fact that it was their last North American stop - the entire band was having a great time and the crowd was appreciative. Lighting and sound were ideal for the space. Great mix of new and old music. Excellent concert.
The concert, venue, and audience was awesome. The only disappointing thing was James only played for about an hour and a half. The show was TOOO short.
