Looking forward to hosting James Leclaire this week at the Folk Collusion. Below is a little info about James. Come down to Hibou to see for yourself!From fist pumping, stomp your feet workingman anthems to soulful ballads of love, heartache
and loss; James, songs are all about storytelling. Intensely thought-out lyrics grind through raspy vocal chords with powerful emotion to produce rich, dark imagery that can really punch you in the heart.
James Leclaire grew up in the small town of Renfrew Ontario 45mins west of the nation’s capital and now resides in Manotick Ontario. He has played across Ontario and the east coast,
performed at Ottawa’s Bluesfest, CityFolk and headlined the opening of new Lansdowne Park.
In 2020, James went into the studio to record new material and by mid 2023 he had recorded 38 new songs. Some of which include guitarist/mandolinist Kevin Breit(Norah Jones), drummer Ed Toth(Doobie Bros), guitarist/pianist John Fraser Findlay(Juno Nominee) and harmonicist Mickey Raphael(Nelson/Young/Dylan/Stapleton).
James has been releasing new singles monthly since August 2023. The first ten compiled into his 2024 album, Come On In. Since then the monthly singles have continued and will create his next full album this July.
