One of Vancouver's most versatile entertainers is making another stop in Brackendale.
Although Jim Byrnes hails from St. Louis, Missouri, the blues musician has made Vancouver his home for over 25 years. Byrnes has immersed himself in Canada's artistic community, and is known for his skilful blues playing and humour-filled performances.
He’s also had a multitude of television roles, such as lifeguard on The Wiseguy, Joe Dawson on The Highlander and his own Jim Byrnes Show. Byrnes has also appeared on the big screen and can be heard as the voice for many animated characters. Cartoon buffs will recognize the evil cackling of Inferno on Beast Wars.
