Folk music has a new sound...an unorthodox yet refreshing hybrid of dark folk tunes and dreamy blues-harmonica solos, James Kasper's award-winning folk-noir sound is characterized by "haunting vocals and strong songwriting" (Monday Magazine). Kasper has collaborated with Blue Rodeo's Bob Egan, Toronto's Revival Dear, Bob Wiseman, and opened for the legendary Ray Charles at the Variety Club Telethon in 1998. Kasper's intense live performances continue to captivate roots music fans across Canada. exclaim! magazine says "with the burning wail of his harmonica and his smouldering lyrics, Kasper artfully wrenches empathy from listeners...the noir side adds depth of character and individuality to his music, helping to distinguish him from the thousands of other singer-songwriters in the country roots genre."
