TD Ottawa Jazz Festival
TD Ottawa Jazz Festival Executive Producer Catherine O’Grady announced an addition to the Main Stage programming for this year’s Festival running from June 20 to July 1, 2014.
Guitar-rock icon Colin James will play the main stage on June 21.
Colin James’ 1988 self-titled debut featuring his 2 self-penned hits “Voodoo Thing” and “Five Long Years,” was the fastest-selling album in Canadian history.
Mentored by the legendary guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan, this iconic Canadian artist has topped the charts as a pop vocalist, a blues guitar player, and led the swing revival with his Little Big Band.
Colin James
Colin has performed for the Queen, sold multi-platinum many times over and continues to sell out shows coast to coast. A six-time JUNO Award winner and multiple Maple Blues Award winner, Colin continues to innovate with every new record. In 2014, Colin will be heading back into the studio to record his 17th full length album.
This announcement comes in addition to a slate of premiere programming announced in recent weeks. The new Laurier Avenue Canadian Music Stage lineup was released last week. The festival will welcome Ron Sexsmith, Whitehorse, Cold Specks, David Virelles, Elliott BROOD and Kathleen Edwards this year.
The TD Ottawa Jazz Festival begins on June 20 with the Bollywood Opening Night Extravaganza featuring top-selling Indian singer Richa Sharma, bhangra master DJ Rekha, world music melders Jaffa Road and Autorickshaw.
