James Burchart -

Welcome the official website of singer/songwriter, author James Burchart. Inside you will find the latest news, a journal, and an acoustic travelogue of small towns, lost souls, and true confessions.

James was raised in Nelson BC in the heart of the Kootanays, and as a teenager he spent his evenings in the 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 songs together.
Before long 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. He 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 currently completing on his third studio album.

Edgewater Celebration Village Show

I will be playing at the Edgewater Celebration Village (old outdoor Plaza of Nations) Feb 19th at 2:00 PM and Feb 23rd at 3:15 PM. This is expected to be a really high traffic area because it is conjunction with the Olympics, so come early and plan to take the SkyTrain because I don't think the area will be accessible any other way. Most likely I'll be playing solo, there is no admission charge, and I'll be debuting a couple of brand new song!! So see you there.
