Hailing from Stratford, Ontario, Downham released his debut country album “The Long Way Home” in April 2023 featuring the singles “One Mile at a Time,” “Wine & Whiskey,” and “Unwind.” The album has garnered over 300,000 streams on streaming platforms. Known for his smooth vocal delivery and dynamic tenor range, Downham is often compared to Tim McGraw – so much so that he actually spent over a decade touring Canada and the U.S. in a Tim McGraw tribute act before turning his attention back to original music. James was winner of Season 2 of Canada’s reality talent competition The Shot, and was selected from thousands of applicants as one of only 14 artists to participate in The Shot: Canada vs. USA, touted as “North America’s most intense virtual songwriting competition.” With new music and more shows ahead, be sure to check out www.JamesDownham.com for the most up-to-date information on James Downham.
