Reid Jamieson is a classic Canadian heartbreaker with an incredible voice and a magical way with melodies. 2009 finds him hard at work writing a soulful follow up to his latest, after releasing a rather unintentional fifties era tribute to Elvis entitled The Presley Sessions.
In case you don't know, Reid's latest disc of original music; The Unavoidable Truth, was produced by Josh Finlayson (Gord Downie Band, Skydiggers) and features guest appearances from Sarah Harmer & Bob Egan (Blue Rodeo, Wilco) while showcasing his choirboy ways, therapeutic lyrics and alt-country-pop hooks.
Reid recently moved from Toronto to beautiful Vancouver BC where he is exploring the fine art of songwriting, cooking up a veggie storm, playing around town, and appearing with some regularity on CBC’s Vinyl Cafe and other fine shows. A new record is in the works for 2009.
File alongside fellow rootsy singer songwriters: Damien Rice, Jeff Buckley, Josh Rouse, Ron Sexsmith, Jack Johnson, Roy Orbison and Neil Finn. And please stay tuned for more from this tender troubadour...

Claire and I have returned from our 3 month EU& UK tour. So, I just posted a note about what's going on with The Bowmans on facebook... and then I started writing a mass email... and then I decided against it... so I'm doing this instead. (begging) Will you visit my profile page to help me spread the word, pretty please??? We have a sneak preview of the new album (Produced by Malcolm Burn, Mastered by Greg Calbi) up for 5 days only… and it can be bought within the next 5 days only!
