Ian James Bain

The son of an air force man, Ian called many places across Canada ‘home’ for a couple of years before packing up and moving down the road. Maybe that’s why he was so drawn to music. Something constant, something to come back to.

When he was a teenager living in a small rural Ontario town he found a bunch of like minded kids putting on DIY shows in church basements and legion halls – the rest just happened naturally.

After many years working as a sideman in a range of genres Ian had come to feel most at home with the music that reflected his rural and nomadic upbringing – country.
