James Gordon has been there. He’s done that. He’s had a remarkably diverse and resilient career in the Canadian entertainment business. As a solo singer-songwriter and with the ground-breaking trio Tamarack, he’s recorded at least 40 albums, and toured relentlessly around the world. For more than ten years he 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, author, community activist, theatre director, festival director, and a retired City Councillor in his hometown of Guelph Ontario. His new ‘musical’ novel “The Ark Of The Oven Mitt” was a finalist for the Stephen Leacock Humour Award. His classic song “Frobisher Bay” has been covered by over 100 artists. His new album is “Wrinkles and Scars”. These days he’s appearing solo, with his “exceptional ensemble”, a six-piece outfit that debuted his new album at Hugh’s Room in Toronto, and as a duo with Guelph singer Connie Murch. Jamesgordon.ca
