JIM BYRNES with SIMON KENDALL
Full Band Show 

Three-time Juno winner and BC Entertainment Hall of Famer JIM BYRNES lives and breathes music. For nearly fifty years he’s crooned, drawled, belted, hollered and sweet talked more songs into a microphone than most people ever get to hear in a lifetime. Byrnes has amassed a stellar collection of true blue hits including “12 Questions”, “Walk on Boy”, “Still Stuck on You”, “Jailbird Love Song”, “Me and Piney Brown”, “Four Until Late”, “Love is Just a Gamble”, “Of Whom Shall I be Afraid”, “That River”, “Stardust”, “Talk in Circles” and “Just a Pilgrim”, Winner of Canadian Spotlight Awards' best music video of the year (2006). His evocative themes and smoky vocals reveal a truth that doesn’t come overnight. The sheer joy you can hear in the music he creates is a reason to celebrate JIM BYRNES as a living musical treasure.

From his numerous TV and movie roles to his award-winning albums and a staggering list of accolades it is little wonder Axs Magazine declares, “Jim Byrnes shows that he just might be the next singer-songwriter you mention to all your friends.”
