Colin James kicks off Saturday night of the Burt Block Party presented by Leopold’s Tavern!
With 21 studio albums, 8 Juno Awards, 31 Maple Blues Awards and multi-platinum record sales, Colin James remains at the top of his game, continuing to challenge himself musically. His current release, Chasing the Sun, finds the blues-rock singer-songwriter’s electrifying new album featuring the kind of towering musical guests typically found on the other side of velvet ropes.
His 2021 release, Open Road, for which he won a 2022 Juno Award for best Blues Album and was nominated for the Blues Foundation 2023 best Blues Rock Album (his first), is a celebration of personal connections. It includes original tunes written with long time collaborators as well as reinterpretations of covers by a diverse group of songwriters.
His 2018 album Miles To Go garnered worldwide attention, debuting on the Billboard Blues Charts and held a position on the RMR Blues Chart for 24 weeks, 14 weeks in the top 10.
For over 35 years, Colin has been a consummate professional, a superb guitarist, and a musician’s musician. The confidence that comes with maturity can be heard in his voice and seen in his electrifying stage performance. He does what comes naturally – he always has – he knows no other way and no other life. Recently celebrating his 60th birthday, he still finds joy in making music and touring and loves what he does.
