Reid Jamieson

Reid Jamieson is an old fashioned heartbreaker with a golden voice and a knack for writing instantly classic songs. His second solo album The Unavoidable Truth, was produced by Josh Finlayson (Gord Downie, Skydiggers) and features guest appearances from Sarah Harmer, Bob Egan (Blue Rodeo, Wilco) and others. Showcasing Reid's choirboy ways, therapeutic lyrics and country-flavoured pop hooks, the truth is once you let this blue-eyed troubadour into your record collection, he will be sure to work his way into your heart...

Reid doesnt eat meat or milk products or fish or MSG. This means that he spends a lot of time in the kitchen, and the rest of the time driving around small towns looking for something he can eat. www.reidjamieson.com/veg/index.htm
