ABOUT
Gorden James has made quite the name for himself, both as an artist and as an all around great guy.James was recently featured on CMT Canada’s, Big in a Small Town, as one of thirty artists selected across Canada to participate.
"They emailed me and asked me to audition," said James from his Kelowna home. "They picked 30 artists from across Canada, two of them from BC. It was a really cool experience. All the staff and crew treated us like gold.
It gave my album, Heart of the Matter, great exposure."James, who won a song writing competition in 2002 sponsored by Factor, CMT, and Country radio across the nation, released four singles last year.
Now he and the Good Guys Band are working on completing a new album for release this year.James has performed everywhere from large concerts to store openings. "When they want something small it's usually just me who performs," said James. "If people want a duo, I bring along Mike Mueller of the Good Guys Band. When it's a larger event, like the Dancin' Barefoot Music Festival in Peachland, then the whole Good Guys Band shows up."
James is an accomplished singer/songwriter who describes his style as urban country, easy listening, with a touch of the blues. His debut album, Heart of the Matter, continues to get airplay across Canada and overseas.When James isn't performing, he's spends his time as a volunteer for hospice, doing shows at the cancer lodge, and he wrote a song for Soles4Souls, an organization that gets shoes to people that need them in Canada and around the world.
