Profile
Reid Jamieson is a classic Canadian heartbreaker with an incredible voice and a magical way with melodies. Born and raised in Toronto, Reid now resides in beautiful Vancouver BC and performs regularly with CBC's Vinyl Cafe.
In 2004 Reid released an alt-country gem titled The Unavoidable Truth produced by Josh Finlayson (Gord Downie Band, Skydiggers) featuring Sarah Harmer and Bob Egan (Blue Rodeo, Wilco). 2007 found Reid releasing a rather unintentional 50s era tribute to Elvis entitled The Presley Sessions. Initially recorded as a gift for his long time sweetheart, this tender offering highlighted Reid's powerful abilities as an interpreter of classic and cult tunes, as evidenced on free cover tracks he regularly posts to his web site.
Finishing touches are being put on a new album of original songs to be released later this year. A stripped down preview of six tracks can be heard on the November 2009 limited run EP Courting Juniper produced by Byron Kent Wong (David Usher, The Crystal Method). Garden gnomes, trains and no less than three proposals (!) can be found within the lyrics of this unabashedly romantic collection.
