Six-time Juno award-winner Colin James has driven his 10-album, 25-year career with his blues influenced guitar mastery and soulful vocals.

James was only 18-years old when he captured the attention of guitar legend Stevie Ray Vaughan, who marveled at the prodigious talent, decided to take him on the road through the Canadian prairies, and later the United States. It wasn’t long after that the young musician began opening for the likes of John Lee Hooker, ZZ Top, Steve Winwood and Keith Richards, James was also the first to be signed to the Virgin America label, and his 1988 self-titled debut Colin James was the fastest-selling album in Canadian music history featuring the smash hits “Why’d You Lie?”, “Voodoo Thing” and “Five Long Years”. He followed up with the strong 1990 sophomore release, Sudden Stop, which featured the top three radio hit “Just Came Back”. and has since maintained the integrity of a truly enduring artist.

In 2008 he took home three Maple Blues Awards (Toronto Blues Society), which included Entertainer of the Year, while his release Limelight also went gold in Canada.

James released his twelfth album Rooftops and Satellites on October 6th, 2009, and it is a return to his guitar Blues-Rock roots.
