James Keelaghan, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada -Admiration and respect for his work amongst his peers is best summed up by David Francey who recently stated that, "James Keelaghan is a voice in contemporary Canadian songwriting that has helped us define who we are as a people. He writes with great humanity and honesty, with an eye to the past and a vision of the future. He has chronicled his times with powerful and abiding songs, with heart and eyes wide open."
For Keelaghan staying at the top of his game comes down to a very clear rule, never stop accumulating! Terry Wickham, producer of the much lauded Edmonton Folk Festival, is one of the long admirers of Keelaghan's music, and he sums up the artist's appeal by saying, "James has become the complete artist. A brilliant tunesmith who has become on the most engaging performers of our time. You always know the journey with James is going to be great, you just never know what all the destinations are. That is why the curve on his career continues to rise."
It was Dave March, the award-winning American music critic and historian who not so long ago stated that James Keelaghan is "Canada's finest songwriter, and those few but powerful words of praise say it all about an artist who continues to set the bar at a lofty height. James will be touring with Hugh McMillan, a long time partner of the Keelaghan Music Train.
