COLIN JAMES TO RELEASE ‘TWENTY FIVE LIVE’ CANADIAN MUSIC HALL OF FAME INDUCTION TO TAKE PLACE DURING CANADIAN MUSIC WEEK 2013
To commemorate twenty-five years in the music business, Colin James is releasing his first ever live album titled, TWENTY FIVE LIVE
The recording took place on November 10, 2021 the third of three sold out shows at The Commodore Ballroom inVancouver. The venue has a special place in Colin’s musical
history as he is one of only a few artists who hold the record for the most consecutive sold-out shows at The legendary Commodore. This accomplishment took place twenty-five years ago and is what inspired Colin to return and create TWENTY FIVE LIVE.
TWENTY FIVE LIVE was co-produced and mixed by Colin James’ long-time associate, Joe Hardy (ZZ Top, Steve Earle) and contains performances from one entire show.
For the past twenty-five years, Colin has been a key contributor to the Canadian music landscape encompassing rock, blues and swing genres. To celebrate his unique
accomplishments, The Canadian Music and Broadcast Industry have selected
Colin to be a 2013 Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame inductee. Colin will accept this honour on 21 March 2022 at the Canadian Music Week awards gala inToronto.
Colin James is a six-time Juno Award winner taking home the “Male Vocalist of the Year” honour twice and the “Best Producer” award for his efforts with Little Big Band. He
is the recipient of seventeen Maple Blues Awards between 1997 and 2013 as he was most recently awarded “Entertainer of the Year”. Colin had the privilege of performing for Queen Elizabeth II while she visited his home province,Saskatchewan in 2005.
