Oct 20, 2021
James is excited to announce that his 12-date cross Canada tour has been rescheduled to 2022, now with special guest Jackson Browne stepping in for Bonnie Raitt, who is unable to come along next year due to her prior touring commitments. Please see the Schedule page for the full list of dates and links to purchase tickets.
Message from James
Last year was a time of great disruption and general upheaval for all of us. My plans for a coast-to-coast concert tour of Canada with my dear friend, Bonnie Raitt, were seriously sidetracked. Our rescheduled dates for this September were likewise denied. But we’ve been determined to follow through; to make the tour happen and, come hell or high water, we’re setting our sights on this coming Spring of ’22. The one wrinkle is that Bonnie will be unable to join us for the newly rescheduled dates. Happily, Jackson Browne and I have been touring together this Summer and Fall and he has agreed to come to Canada with me. We’ve been delighted with the response from our audiences on this current tour of the States and I’m hoping that those of you who have been holding onto tickets for the Canadian concerts will be pleased with the surprise change in the bill. Of course some of you may have had your hearts set on seeing Bonnie and would like to receive a refund due to the change. This we will cheerfully and expeditiously accommodate.* But I dare say that the rest of you will not be disappointed. See you all this Spring.
