James Gordon
“This fine Canadian songwriter is still on a roll. A mature, astute observer of the human heart in all its conditions. Unhurried personal narratives that anyone can share- songwriting on a conversational scale with universal relevance.” - Rock and Reel Review
James Gordon has been there. He’s done that. He has had a remarkably diverse and resilient career in the Canadian cultural sector. As a solo singer-songwriter and with the ground-breaking trio Tamarack, he’s recorded 42 albums and toured relentlessly around the world. He’s written for symphony orchestras, musical theatre and dance works, scored films, and for more than ten years was heard on CBC radio as songwriter-in-residence for the ’Basic Black’ and ‘Ontario Morning’ programs. Between tours, James is a record producer, playwright, community activist, theatre director and he was a Guelph City Councillor for eight years. After a long break because of you-know-what, Gordon is touring again either solo, as a duo with Katherine Wheatley, or with his band consisting of David Woodhead, Katherine Wheatley, Anne Lindsay, Ian Bell and Randall Coryell on drums if the situation allows! “A remarkable Canadian performer. His body of work is truly original” - Penguin Eggs “A confident artist with important things on his mind.” - Toronto Star “Rootsy sound, strong songs, with a poet’s eye for telling details and a picket-line singer’s passion.” - Sing Out Magazine James will be accompanied by the incredible Katherine Wheatley, a respected singer-songwriter in her own right, but also high in demand as a collaborative singer and guitar player.“…she exudes sheer kindness and love. Blessedly, refreshingly, a truly Canadian original.” - Chronicle Journal
