Rising from the crossroads of Midwestern grit and Nashville polish, James Bruner is fast establishing himself as one of the most exciting new voices in modern rock. Fresh from a UK tour earlier this year alongside guitar icon Orianthi, Bruner’s momentum shows no sign of slowing with the release of his electrifying new single Can’t Keep Wanting You.

Following the earlier success of I Get Everything from his debut EP The Otherside, this latest track signals a bold artistic step forward. Produced by Nashville’s Shane Weisman, the single channels the swagger and raw edge of Lenny Kravitz, while carving out a sound that is unmistakably Bruner’s own. Built from an organic, collaborative studio process—passing a Fender Stratocaster back and forth—the track captures the restless energy and emotional push-pull of desire.

Bruner himself describes this phase as a “new era,” a clean slate shaped by years of experimentation and dedication to his craft. That evolution is evident not only in the studio but also on stage. Since launching his solo career in 2023, he has played hundreds of shows across the US and Europe, sharing stages with acts like Those Damn Crows, Barns Courtney and Yonaka.

From humble beginnings in Springfield, Illinois—where skate culture and artists like David Bowie and Iggy Pop shaped his musical outlook—to commanding stages such as London’s The Roundhouse and Paris’ Bataclan, Bruner’s journey has been one of relentless growth.

With support from outlets like Planet Rock Radio and Classic Rock, plus a debut album on the horizon, 2026 is shaping up to be a defining year. If Can’t Keep Wanting You is anything to go by, James Bruner isn’t just arriving—he’s absolutely ready to take over.
