Based in Guelph, Ontario, James Gordon is known to many North Americans as the founder of Canada's premier folk group TAMARACK. With this durable trio he toured every corner of the continent, recorded fourteen albums, and made countless television and radio appearances. He has become well-known for his original songs about Canada's identity and heritage. He was a regular songwriting contributor to the CBC radio programmes "Ontario Morning" and "Basic Black". He has also released numerous solo albums for adults and children , composed works for symphony orchestras, co-written a popular series of "Jim and Dave" family musicals and written music for theatre, dance and film. His songs have been recorded by a number of other artists including The Cowboy Junkies, Melanie Doane, Hilary Spencer, Al Simmons, Ian Bell and James Keelaghan.
These days James tours North America and Great Britain with the legendary Canadian pop icon Sandy Horne on bass and vocals, and produces CD's for other artists at his Pipe Street Studios. In 2002 he released 5 different CD's of his own music. His first full-length musical, "Hardscrabble Road" debuted in late 2003, and his next album on Borealis Records is due to be released soon.

Hey,
Great way to start my day.I have to stream you.One corner turn can make the difference. We're the ones who are breathing in the space. I love it.
I hope you’ll stop by & listen well.
Marcanybody have the lyrics for frobisher bay?Hi again,
Wow! Having looked through your own website, it's clear that the songs here are only the tip of the iceberg!
You are one amazing artist James, with a huge catalogue of outstanding songs.
The ones particularly on your album "The song the river sings" remind me so much of John Denver, and your voice is uncannily similar.
Hopefully, in a couple of months time when finances allow, I'll certainly be buying some of your albums.
(I could listen to you for hours!)
All the very best,
Carol.Hi James,
I was very touched by your songs and (especially "Frobisher Bay") and my favorites are on my "Touching station"
Nice stuff,
Carol.All comments (16)

Greetings, A lot of folks down here in New York City sing your "Frobisher Bay." Some do it vey well, but no one I have heard sings it like you with such immense beauty and power. What a wonderful piece of music in both the composition and the performance! Bravo! --- Steve Suffet
