Jamie Barnes

Jamie Barnes is a singer/songwriter from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

Jamie is influenced by the great songwriters of new and old (Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, Jason Isbell, Taylor Swift). Jamie always puts the song first, and the genre second; weaving in pop, rock, folk, and Americana influences, his is a sound that at its core manages to marry the new with the familiar.

His music has been heard around the world, ranging from its placement in the hit CBC series "Heartland", to radio play in Scotland, to the 2021 tourism campaign back home in the City of Hamilton.

The album Wilderness won a Hamilton Music Award in 2011, and his 2013 follow up, Coming Home, was nominated along side the likes of Neil Young.

In recent years, Jamie took a break from original music to focus on a multi-year / multi-volume Christmas project, offering unique takes on classic carols and nostalgic favourites.

This diverse catalog evolved once more in early 2022 with the release of his new full-length album of original songs - The Want of a Better Tomorrow.

Not one to rest, Jamie's followed up the new album with a new single called "The River and Me", available now.
