James Franklin

Join us for an afternoon of live music with James Franklin, bringing a huge repertoire of crowd favourites to Notting Hill Hotel.

A Melbourne-based singer-songwriter and musician, James started performing at just 15 years old and has since taken his music to pubs, clubs and theatres around the world. Along the way, he’s shared stages with major Australian acts including 5 Seconds of Summer and Daryl Braithwaite, building plenty of experience when it comes to knowing how to work a crowd.

James’ repertoire stretches from songs of the 1930s right through to current chart hits, moving across pop, rock, country, soul and blues. One minute it might be an easy acoustic favourite to soundtrack a few afternoon drinks; the next, he’s lifting the tempo with familiar covers made for singing along and getting the room moving.

With more than 80 shows listed on his artist profile and regular performances across Melbourne’s pub circuit, James brings plenty of versatility and an easy connection with the crowd to every set.
