Crossroads Guitar Festival - James Bay

Backstage at Eric Clapton's 2019 Crossroads Guitar Festival, James Bay talks with us about the impact of hearing "Layla" for the first time, his dream of getting to play the Crossroads Festival since he was 13, and how his acoustic/electric playing style is perfectly expressed through the Epiphone Century archtop electric guitar.
