COLIN JAMES
Performers IncludeColin James has juggled his skills as a singer, guitarist and big-band leader so well over the years that diversity seems almost synonymous with his stellar career. He’s also been a restless voyager, traversing genres—from blues and rock to pop and swing and back again. Throughout it all, Colin has always forged ahead, without regard to fads or trends, going wherever his wandering muse takes him. When Colin set out to make Rooftops and Satellites, he had a vision for a gentler album, full of quiet, introspective songs. “Despite my best intentions,” he says, laughing, “it didn’t turn out that way.” The change came about as a result of his songwriting collaboration with Tom Wilson, founder of the 1990s alt-rockers Junkhouse and now a member of roots-rock trio Blackie & the Rodeo Kings. “Tom and I really hit our stride together,” says Colin who co-wrote eight of the album’s songs with Tom and Tawgs Salter, who has written for Edwin and produced the debut album by rising synth-pop star Lights. “Tom’s a super creative guy and he’s tapped in at all times and Tawgs is a hot up-and-comer.” Rooftops and Satellites is co-produced by Colin and Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Metallica). Always a crowd favourite, don\'t miss Colin live this February. |
