Grammy and Juno nominated composer/producer James Creasey to join The Dusty Roads Band on 2nd Guitar March 4/5 2011 (Mcphillips St Station)

By Dustin Harder and The Dusty Roads Band

Grammy and Juno nominated composer/producer James Creasey began his musical journey 35 years ago with a passion and study for classical music and the desire to conduct. With the guitar as his first instrument, James quickly became a first call session player on the Canadian West Coast and eventually moved behind the glass as an engineer and producer.

Relocating back to his native Winnipeg, James realised the logical outlet for his multi-faceted musical views was composing for film and television. His music has since been heard on such channels as A & E, TSN, ESPN, The Discovery Channel, and Space; along with several Canadian movies and television specials.

His love for multi-ethnic world music led to the release of the Longhouse trilogy, a three part series into Native American music that garnered him a Juno nomination for best instrumental album.
