Colin James

Colin James Munn (born August 17, 1964 in Regina, Saskatchewan) is a Canadian musician that primarily plays blues and rock but also has released some Swing albums. While growing up, James taught guitar lessons on a local reserve and was also introduced to the sounds of Stevie Ray Vaughan by his stepfather. James quit school in grade 10 and moved to Vancouver in 1980. While trying to hook up with musicians there, he managed to open for Stevie Ray Vaughan for a show back in Regina. Vaughan was quite impressed with Colin's performance and subsequently took James on the road for several tour dates in the USA.
