About this user

James Gordon has had a remarkably diverse 25-year career in the Canadian entertainment business. As a solo singer-songwriter and with the ground-breaking trio Tamarack, he has released over thirty albums, and has toured relentlessly across North America and Great Britain. Gordon has written for symphony orchestras, dance and theatre works, film scores, written 5 family musicals as half of "Jim and Dave", and for five years was heard on CBC radio across Canada every week with a new and very silly song for the Basic Black programme.
His songs have been recorded and performed by such varied acts as The Cowboy Junkies, Melanie Doane, Al Simmons, James Keelaghan, the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra, and several major choirs. His song "Mining For Gold" appears in the the new John Sayles film "Silver City", starring Kris Kristofferson, Daryl Hannah and Richard Dreyfus. His song "Frobisher Bay" was named "Favourite Canadian roots song" in a CBC radio contest last year, and it was featured on the "Canadian Idol" television show.
Currently signed to Borealis Records, his newest CD "Endomusia", released in April of 2004, has been getting an enthusiastic response from fans, critics, and DJs. Greg Quill of the Toronto Star called it
"a wonderfully rich, varied set, the work of a confident artist with important things on his mind", and in May it was the most -played Canadian CD on the U.S. FOLKDJ list. Gordon's full-length folk opera "Hardscrabble Road" debuted in his hometown of Guelph ON in the fall of 2003, and his first book "1001 Canadian Nights" is due out in 2006. He recently received a 15,000 dollar Canada Council grant to compose, direct and produce a major musical theatre work based on mental health themes in 2005. Also in his 'chosen cause', the mental health field, his CD "One in Five" and the video documentary "Breaking the Mask" that he produced last year have been used extensively in Canada and the U.S. to raise awareness and funds for this important issue.
Gordon has just completed two unusual commissioned CD projects. The first, a collection of original river songs "The Song The River Sings" for the Canadian Heritage River Society, and the second, an album of songs about the "Lost Villages of The St. Lawrence" were both released in the last six months.
James Gordon appears in concert as a solo act or with a trio. There
