Info
Halifax- Frequent studio collaborators and good friends, Colin James and Craig Northey are hitting the road again this Fall to share the acoustic side of their music. Together, Colin and Craig’s songwriting partnership spans four Colin James albums and eight years of touring. Just one listen and it becomes obvious they make a remarkable team.
Six-time Juno award-winner Colin James has driven his ten albums, twenty-five year career with his blues influenced guitar mastery and soulful vocals. James was only eighteen years old when he captured the attention of guitar legend Stevie Ray Vaughn, 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 then fledgling Virgin America label. With the seductive, smash hit "Why'd You Lie?” the rocker “Voodoo Thing” and “5 Long Years", he managed to break the record for most albums sold on a first release by a Canadian artist and has since maintained the integrity of a truly enduring artist.
One of the founding members and principal singer/songwriters of the Odds, Craig Northey is a well-known member of the Canadian music scene. He has written the musical scores for several films and continues to commission work for other artists, such as Colin James, Rex Goudie, Damhnait Doyle and Rosanne Cash. The song "Not a Lot Going' On" (written with Jesse Valenzuela) is the theme song for the hit TV series "Corner Gas" on CTV.
Colin James and Craig Northey: Upclose, Personal and Slightly Unplugged is a show not to be missed. These are two musicians with awe-inspiring guitar abilities, boasting an acoustic energy comparable to none.
