A COMPASSTECH LIVE AT THE CENTRE PRESENTATION

Few artists have shaped Canadian music like Colin James. With 21 studio albums, 8 JUNO Awards, 31 Maple Blues Awards, and multiplatinum sales, James remains at the top of his game — a master guitarist and soulful performer whose work bridges blues, rock, and roots music.

His newest release, Chasing the Sun, is an electrifying testament to that artistry. Coproduced with Colin Linden, the album features an extraordinary roster of guest musicians, including Americana icon Lucinda Williams, Rolling Stones bassist Darryl Jones, drummer Charley Drayton, blues legend Charlie Musselwhite, and gospel greats Ann and Regina McCrary. The result is a vibrant, deeply personal record that celebrates musical connection and craft.

Over three decades, James has created a career rich with milestones — from his 1988 breakout hits “Voodoo Thing” and “Five Long Years,” to launching the swing revival with his Little Big Band, to award-winning blues albums like Open Road and Blue Highways. He’s collaborated with icons such as Bonnie Raitt, Buddy Guy, and Keith Richards, and continues to sell out theatres and festivals worldwide.

Celebrated for his dynamic stage presence and electrifying guitar work, James invites audiences to experience the joy, energy, and emotion of one of Canada’s most enduring and versatile performers. Don’t miss an unforgettable night with Colin James live in concert.
