Colin James (born Colin James Munn, August 17, 1964) is a Canadian rock and blues singer and songwriter. James has been nominated for 15 Juno Awards, winning six times.
James was only 18-years old when he captured the attention of guitar legend Stevie Ray Vaughan, who marveled at this prodigious guitar talent, and immediately decided to take him on the road through the Canadian prairies, and later the United States. It wasn't long after that the young musician began opening for the likes of John Lee Hooker
