Shawn JamesFLEW TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN TOURAbbie McAllister

At Racket NYC, Shawn James brings his FLEW TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN tour to New York in a set that moves between solo performance and nights with his backing band, The Shapeshifters. The shift in format makes the material legible in two ways: first as songwriting, then as arrangement and ensemble force. James works in the overlap of rock and pop, with a voice-forward approach that keeps narrative at the center. For NYC, where club stages often double as testing grounds for touring acts, this stop reads as a study in how the same songs change when the room and the band change.
