The Queen City Ex Regina-born Colin James has built an impressive resume throughout his 25-year career of blues-driven guitar playing and soulful vocals.

From the Water is the latest cd from Colin Linden an immensely talented and understated musician from Canada who already has a career spanning more than three decades - and not just as a singer.

Canadian guitar maestro Colin James - along with blues-rock legend Rick Derringer, former Fabulous Thunderbirds member Jimmie Vaughan and the Downchild Blues Band - play at the Dutch Mason Blues Festival Aug.

He's known as the Guitarman, or at least it's the part he played in a made-for-TV film of the same name in the mid-'90s, but there's no better moniker for Jack Semple.

When Colin Linden plays London, the memories come surging back. The Canadian roots and blues star once slept at the Kiwanis bandshell in Victoria Park.

The city's summer festival calendar is starting to fill up. The Calgary International Blues Music Festival announced its 2009 lineup yesterday at Mikey's Juke Joint in the southwest.
