James Keelaghan - Online Performance

James Keelaghan

Few singer-songwriters are as keenly attuned to Canadian history or as compelling in transmuting its stories into song as masterfully as native Calgarian James Keelaghan, who the renowned American music critic Dave Marsh called Canada’s finest songwriter. A JUNO award-winning, evergreen folk hero with an international profile built on decades as a touring troubadour, James has also doubled since 2011 as Artistic Director of the Summerfolk Music and Crafts Festival in Owen Sound, ON. For a quarter of a century and counting, this poet laureate of the folk and roots music world has combined passion, craft, history and artistry in exploring haunting Canadian themes in both solo and collaborative settings, most notably with compadre Oscar Lopez. www.keelaghan.com
