Colin James
With 21 studio albums, 8 Juno Awards, 31 Maple Blues Awards, and multi-platinum sales, Colin James remains at the top of his game. His 1988 self-titled debut was the fastest-selling album in Canadian history, winning him his first Juno and an opening spot for Keith Richards. Over a 35-year career, James has earned hits like "Just Came Back" and "Voodoo Thing," and was credited with launching the swing revival with his Little Big Band. In 2013, he was inducted into the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame.
James continues to evolve, finding major success on the blues charts with 2016’s Blue Highways and 2018’s Miles To Go. His 2021 release, Open Road, won the Juno for Best Blues Album. His newest record, Chasing the Sun, co-produced by Colin Linden, features elite guests including Lucinda Williams, Charlie Musselwhite, and musicians from the Rolling Stones' camp. Having shared stages with legends like Bonnie Raitt, Carlos Santana, and Buddy Guy, James remains a consummate professional and a superb guitarist who still finds joy in making music and touring.
