This Is Home - Reid Jamieson

I've played guitar since I was 8yrs old (1962) I was taught by my father who let me play his Gibson ES-125TD. Later I had a fender Bassman Cabinet with a Bandmaster Head  which was given to me by Eddie Jo Downs (of the Phil Baugh Trio in Montclair, CA (60's-70's). My biggest musical influences have been Phil Baugh, Chet Atkins, Les Paul, Vince Gill, Steve Wariner, and George Benson. I'd love to be able to play like these fine musicians but I'll have to wait a hundred years or so before that's possible! 

I've played in a few bands over the years (obscure to most everyone, I'm sure) but the most significant band for my musical training (and the most enjoyable) was The Blackwell Express Band out of Kingsburg, California. That lasted (for me) about 10yrs. We all sang harmonies and were busy all the time! Someday I hope to put those recordings on line.

Well, I don't play "professionally" any longer but my son (Cody) and I play together often and are learning the Art of digital multi-track recording.

CANADA’S BEST KEPT SECRET: Vancouver’s Reid Jamieson is a vocal powerhouse committed to making music that moves us. Known for regular appearances on CBC’s Vinyl Café, to recording with Cowboy Junkies, he shines with compelling originals, plus killer covers of everything from 50s era gold to their latest tribute to Leonard Cohen. A classic introvert/extrovert combo, Reid performs with his saucy wife and long-time song-writing partner Carolyn Victoria Mill. Their new all original album, recorded in Ireland with producer Kieran Kennedy (Maria Doyle Kennedy), is titled ‘Me Daza’ which is Cork slang for ‘most excellent’, – tho the direct translation is ‘I’m dying’ – but aren’t we all? There is nothing traditional about this record, or this dynamic duo.
