The Jimmy Tri-Tone Band

This folk-rock duo is composed of James Walters and Randelle Ashley. Although they did not meet until later on in life, James and Randelle both grew up in the small town of Almonte, Ontario. James started playing guitar at a young age, jamming at family bonfires, while Randelle took piano lessons as a child and took up bass in the high school band.

Years later, now all grown up, the two finally met and that was it. James, sporting a full beard (and I mean full) was nicknamed "Jimmy Tri-Tone" by Randelle for the three colours it seemed to flaunt. The name stuck and they shortly after formed The Jimmy Tri-Tone Band. They now reside together in a small countryside house near White Lake, Ontario and spend most of their time making music, gardening, cutting wood and making maple syrup. James and Randelle just completed their second tour, to the East Coast this time and can't wait to get back on the road. In the meantime, you can find them around the Ottawa Valley playing shows and jamming at house parties!

James' raspy voice tells tales of lovers, cowboys, and everything in between. Their brand new, full-length album, This Long, Lonesome Highway is now available!
