Bio
Fans of Jackson Browne, Lyle Lovett, Mark Heard will be right at home with James Burchart's thoughtful, road-worn songs. His music is a travelogue of small towns, lost souls, and true confessions.
James was raised in Nelson BC in the heart of the Kootanays. As a teenager James spent his evenings in coffeehouses listening Bruce Cockburn, Valdy, Ramblin' Jack Elliot, or some other unknown artist work their magic with guitars, fiddles, and unpolished voices. Before long he had a guitar of his own and was putting his own songs together.
Once he started playing live, James came under the musical mentorship of British recording pioneer and Hawkwind keyboardist Del Detmar, and in Del’s studio James made his first multitrack recordings.
James eventually moved to Vancouver Island where he recorded ‘Songs for the Common Man’ and ‘Lost within the Flame’ at the Vancouver/Victoria punk/alternative Mecca, Downtown Sound. Both albums recieved steady college radio and MuchMusic rotation.
James currently lives with his family in Chilliwack BC, and he is completing on his third studio album 'The Last Highway'
