OPEN ROAD

Description

With a treasure trove of songs written over the last two years, both on the road and then in lockdown, it was a difficult choice to select only 13 for this album. Colin James (and co-producer Dave Meszaros) managed to organize three full band sessions in Vancouver for recording, and the rest was done remotely due to pandemic lockdowns using studios on both sides of the Atlantic. The result is a stunning album that captures the magic that musicians can create when given the time and space. Platinum-selling artist Colin James has over 655,000 weekly views on his YouTube channel, 167.5K monthly Spotify listeners, 9.7K monthly Pandora listeners, and 5.8K fans on Deezer, demonstrating his enthusiastic international fanbase. He is a 7-time JUNO Award winner and has received 15 career nominations. He has won 27 Maple Blues Awards and is both a Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame inductee (2014) and Western Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductee (2016). Open Road was mixed at the iconic Abbey Road Studios in London, UK. Career began in 1986 with 16 studio albums, 1 live album, and 2 compilations to date.
