Montreal based blues guitarist Jimmy James has a unique and original blend of styles. Never one to be pegged, his ever evolving sound pushes the limits of rhythm, blues, jazz, rock, country, fusion, classical and funk. It's a diverse mix for a master guitar player who is both grounded and rocks on the edge of wild.

 

With fingers that move at incredible speeds and a dexterity that seems at odds with his calm and easygoing presence, he is both immensely talented and the guitar player other guitar players love to watch. 

 

Jimmy's playing reflects many influences, but never copies. No learning how to play a song the way it sounds on the record - his guitarwork is inventive and innovative, based on his own very different way of seeing music.

​

 He is constantly stretching, experimenting and expanding. You will never see him play a song the same way twice, so he is always exciting to watch.
