Growing up in Saskatchewan, the son of social worker parents, Colin was always surrounded by music—from the records played at home, to the folk clubs in Regina and the Quaker gatherings his family attends throughout the province. At a very young age, he picked up his older brother's guitar and taught himself to play along to some of the vintage blues records he adored so much. He ultimately mastered the mandolin and penny whistle as well; before long he was sitting in with folk bands whose members were much older than himCulminating just before the release of Colin’s debut album in 1988, Playing the Changes is a celebration of music and the joy of playing it, and of one of the most remarkable childhoods in Canadian music history.Colin James OBC is one of Canada's most beloved blues rock singer and songwriter. He's attained seven Gold-certified albums during his career, including four Platinum albums and two Double Platinum albums. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/toronto/colin-james-toronto-book-launch-playing-the-changes/100001991708278075 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, live-music - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes - Location: El Mocambo - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 43.55, max: 73.6, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Toronto - **state**: ON - **country**: Canada - **location**: El Mocambo - **lat**: 43.6575911 - **long**: -79.4002005 - **full address**: El Mocambo, 464 Spadina Avenue, Toronto, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Colin James Toronto Book Launch "Playing the Changes" - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/fad184361f9ebf108ddb84666c838f2919bea66ec703eb41d54f4844f42efe2c-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1782903705 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Colin James Toronto Book Launch "Playing the Changes" being held? - **A:** Colin James Toronto Book Launch "Playing the Changes" takes place on Tue, 22 Sep, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Tue, 22 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 pm at El Mocambo, 464 Spadina Avenue, Toronto, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing Colin James Toronto Book Launch "Playing the Changes"? - **A:** Colin James Toronto Book Launch "Playing the Changes" is organized by Another Story Bookshop. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
