“Canada’s finest songwriter.” - Dave Marsh, Rolling Stone Magazine
Throughout a career that now spans almost four decades, Juno and Canadian Folk Music Award winning songwriter James Keeleghan — has created a repertoire of incalculable importance — a unique body of work, either inspired by or drawn from the folk tradition. Keelaghan forges his songs with brilliantly defined craftsmanship and a monogrammed artistic vision, making him one of the most distinctive and readily identifiable voices of not only the Canadian scene, but as a member of the international singer-songwriter community.
His songbook — ten solo albums deep — has enlightened, enthralled, and been embraced by audiences around the world. Keelaghan’s life as an artist is a perpetual journey on so many levels. It’s a journey that has invited fans of literate and layered songwriting to be a part of his artistic expeditions, some that weave their way through marvelously etched stories of a historical nature with underlying universal themes, and others that mine the depths of the soul and the emotional trails of human relations.
