"Every now and then, if you're lucky, you'll hear a voice that changes the way you think about music. Its that rare kind of voice that can take you out of yourself to a place where a song that you've heard a thousand times becomes brand new again. Jim Byrnes voice has that quality, and even though hes been winning over audiences with his soulful vocals for more than fifty years now, hes never sung like he does on Long Hot Summer Days, his newest album on Black Hen Music.

At age sixty-nine, Jim Byrnes has recorded a career milestone, which, given his history with numerous Juno Awards and Maple Blues Awards, among many other accolades, is saying a lot. But, if you listen just once through Long Hot Summer Days, its easy to be convinced that there simply isnt anyone alive today who loves a good song more than Jim does. Its an amazing thing to hear a performer who, well into the fifth decade of his career, the veteran of thousands of live performances and dozens of recording sessions, continues to approach creating a new album with the dedication and enthusiasm of a twenty year old."

This concert is the final show of the Roots and Branches Concert series and not to be missed!
