Admission is free, and the event will take place at 6 p.m. Friday, April 22 at the Astoria Public Li- brary, located at 450 10th St. James is an Astoria-based singer-songwriter. Over the years, James has done solo, showcase and cover gigs throughout the U.S. His pop-rock-Americana tunes are melodic and yet driving. As noted by the SGV Tri- bune, James’ performances feature “solid guitar work with a very wide vocal pal- ette in both range and tex- ture.” Reyne is an Astoria-based musical artist with a clear vision of how he wants his compositions to make lis- teners feel. His recordings are layered soundscapes with lyrics set to them that, as Mod City put it, feel “like honest journal entries put to music.” When he takes his songs to the stage, however, he strips them down and al- lows them to speak for them- selves. His debut album “A Stranger at the Wheel,” mas- tered by Doug Van Sloun (Bright Eyes, She & Him, Submitted photo Astoria-based singer-songwriter Jimmy James will bring his melodic-yet-driving music.

Library After Hours, a free series of cultural events that take place at the library after regular hours of opera- tion, is presented by Astoria Public Library and Astor Li- brary Friends Association.
