Kyle James is a graduate of the Berklee College of Music with a degree in Songwriting and performs what American Songwriter described as, "neo-folk" on banjo, guitar and voice.[1][2][3]
Hauser began performing his original songs in 2011 and that year was a finalist at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival's troubadour contest[4] as well as The Rocky Mountain Folk Festival[5] and made showcase performances at CMJ[6] and The Toronto International Film Festival.[7][8]
In January, 2012 he released his debut album "Oh Oh" on sonaBLAST! Records with a lineup including cellist Ben Sollee, guitarist Grant Gordy (David Grisman Quintet), producer Jayme Stone, and Grammy winning mastering engineer David Glasser.[9][10] Songs from "Oh, Oh" have been featured on MTV's series 16 & Pregnant[11] and Teen Mom[12] and in the feature films Where Hope Grows, Creditors, YERT, 2nd Serve, and A Strange Brand of Happy[13] among others. Hauser has since toured extensively, including a showcase at SXSW and opening performances for Brett Dennen, John Hiatt, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, The Head and the Heart, Mayer Hawthorne, Nathaniel Rateliff, Tennis (band), Thao & the Get Down Stay Down and Gregory Alan Isakov.[14][15][16]
