Jim Bryson is one of the finest songwriters working anywhere today. A true master of his craft, he has patiently built a generous and wonderful body of work over the last 20 years, all leading to his brilliant new record,Somewhere We Will Find Our Place. Jim’s lyrics and melodies are profound and perfectly wrought little avant-garde fictions that expand and deepen with repeated listens. They will put down a foundation in your brain, build a house for them to live in. They will make you notice, make you sing, provide good company, challenge, comfort and inspire. The songs on Somewhere We Will Find Our Place are especially superb, each a gem, a world, and with the wondrous and deft production of Charles Spearin (Broken Social Scene, Happiness Project) and the exceptional mixing of Shawn Everett (Alabama Shakes), Jim Bryson has made a beautiful, career – defining, masterpiece of a record.  – John K Samson

Jim Bryson lives in Stittsville, Ontario in a bungalow with Lisa and his two daughters . This is also where he spends of his days producing records in his Fixed Hinge studio: a building he built and continues to adapt with the help of friends old and new. Somewhere We Will Our Place is Jim’s fifth studio album and the first since 2010’s The Falcon Lake Incident. Jim has made music with many fine folks in the past, including Kathleen Edwards, The Tragically Hip, The Weakerthans, Howe Gelb and Oh Susannah.

Jim Bryson will perform at the Firehall Theatre in Gananoque on Saturday October 1st at 7:30PM.
