COLIN JAMES | JAZZ À L'ANNÉE

A standout on the national blues-rock scene since his arrival, Canadian guitarist Colin James recently marked his 30th anniversary in music. That’s a lot of water under the bridge since Stevie Ray Vaughan first noticed him as a young guitar whippersnapper: 18 albums and 6 Juno Awards later, James’ passion for music is stronger than ever. He returns with his 18th album, ''Blue Highways'', paying tribute to his idols Howlin’ Wolf, Buddy Guy, Robert Johnson and many others. The exceptional Tami Neilson opens the evening.
