Get ready for a magical afternoon! Jim Byrnes returns to High Beam Dreams for a heartwarming concert alongside the amazing Simon Kendall and Eric Reed. “Jim Byrnes shows that he just might be the next singer-songwriter you mention to all your friends.”- Axs Magazine

Jim Byrnes lives and breathes music. For nearly fifty years he’s crooned, drawled, belted, hollered and sweet talked more songs into a microphone than most people ever get to hear in a single lifetime. His evocative, smoky vocals are found in a truth that doesn’t come overnight. The sheer joy you can hear in the music he creates is a reason to celebrate Jim Byrnes as a living musical treasure. With many award winning albums to his credit (Maple Blues Awards, WCMAs, Junos, Canadian Folk Music Awards), Jim Byrnes is that artist who will light up the stage with songs and stories, tried and true.
