The ECLECTIC SONGWRITERS SOCIETY, (ESS), pronounced "S", was formed as a creative outlet and to bring a new brand of music to the world.  We are currently located in the San Francisco Bay Area part of California, USA.    The music ranges in style from simple songwriter songs to more complex arrangements.  The music covers many genres, including pop, rock, country, chill, alternative, easy listening, etc).  We are one of the first "Non-Genre" bands!  We are also the first band to claim the term “Story Rock”.  This is rock that tries to tell a story in each song.  At this stage, we are focused on writing more music for you, the listener.  

James H. Turner is the primary songwriter of all ESS songs.  His goal is to write songs in various styles and tell real stories about life, some happy, some sad, along with some other cool topics!

We use a variety of Producers, Musicians and Arrangers.  See some pictures in the Photos Section.

Please sign up for our mailing list on the home page (link:/home page) and I will alert you when new music arrives.  We consider our fans to be an extension of the band.
