James and the Giant emerged as a live act in early 2009, although they had previously been playing together for nearly six months under a nameless guise.
Led by Crewe based singer-songwriter Dayve Dean, the band play a mixture of acoustic and folk-pop, channelling the likes of REM, Tom Waits, David Gray and Aimee Mann into their original music. Completing the band line-up is local radio DJ Dan Logan and guitarists Carl Hill and Steve Welch.
