Originally from Peterborough, Ontario, James Legere began his musical journey at an early age, receiving his first guitar from his father at age 8. Immersed in music from the start, Legere developed into a highly versatile performer — an accomplished guitarist, vocalist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist.

Now based in Toronto, Legere has spent decades working within the blues, blues-rock, and roots circuits, often as the youngest member in bands whose traditions stretch back generations. A member of Larry Kurtz and the Lawbreakers, whose debut album reached #1 on the Canadian Blues chart, featuring Legere’s guitar work, vocals, and original compositions.

In addition to his band work, Legere is a seasoned session guitarist and vocalist, with experience spanning blues, rock, country, pop, oldies, ska, and beyond. His résumé includes performances with Little Caesar and the Consuls, The Corvairs, and the Boyd Gang.

A graduate of the Trebas Institute of Recording Arts in Recording Engineering, Legere continues to write, produce, and record original music, bringing a lifetime of craft, tone, and musical honesty to every performance.
