James Gray

Tuesday 4th March, 7pm

James Gray is a contemporary version of an old-school traveling folk singer. In the past decade, Gray has toured throughout Canada, Europe and Australia, seeing the world and sharing his beloved songs along the way. A unique finger style guitarist, with a vocal that is hauntingly beautiful, Gray, often accompanied by a rather droll, humorous stage patter, immerses himself in each and every song with a soulfulness and attack that is infectious and disarming.
James has released three albums, the most recent in 2023 entitled “New Friends That Talk Like Old Friends.” In 2019 James won himself a spot at The Mariposa Folk Festival through their showcase auditions. James has since been invited to perform at 5 Mariposa folk events, The Northern Lights Festival Boreal, 2 Troubadour Festivals and
the Muskoka Music Festival in James’ home of northern/central Ontario.
Gray has recently returned home from touring throughout Switzerland, Germany and Austria. This 2024 festival season James was invited to perform at both the Northern Lights Festival Boreal and the Mariposa Folk Festival where he had the honor of warming up the main stage for Bruce Cockburn.
