James Keelaghan with Hugh McMillan
Monday 10th November 2014
James Keelaghan is a Canadian folk singer-songwriter. Born in Calgary, Alberta, Keelaghan is now based in
Winnipeg. Many of the lyrics in his songs display a concern about social problems and justice in society.
Examples of such themes include "Kiri's Piano", about the internment of Japanese Canadians, and
"October 70", about the FLQ crisis, inspired by events and figures in Canadian history. Keelaghan's lilting
baritone voice, driving rhythm guitar, and a sense of scene and narrative result in his ability to bridge
traditional folk music with roots revival and Celtic music.
