Jim Bryson

Jim Bryson is a National Folk Award nominated Canadian Singer-Songwriter and Record Maker.

He has released a number of recordings in all kinds of popular formats and in places all over the map. His most recent release is 2022’s “Country Wifi”: a hushed pile of beautiful whispers and gently considered lyrical ruminations.

Jim also has an ongoing project, a series of $30 singles called “Survival Tactics”, meant as an offset to the pennies per glass Spotify/Streaming world we now live in.

Jim’s 2000 Debut “The Occasionals” was recently (May 2022) named a Top 10 record of the 2000’s by Americana UK!

Aside from singing and strumming his own golden hits, Jim produces records out of his Fixed Hinge Studio Recordings shed. His production work has been acknowledged by The Juno Awards, The Canadian Folk Music Awards and The Americana Music Awards.

Recent releases of note are Juno Nominee Suzie Ungerleider’s “My Name Is Suzie Ungerleider”, Kathleen Edrwards’ “Total Freedom”, Ken Yates’ “Cerulean”, and Good Lovelies Singer Caroline Marie Brooks’ solo debut “Everything at The Same Time”.

In Jim’s former lives, he traveled extensively as a side player for artists such as Kathleen Edwards, The Weakerthans and The Tragically Hip.

Jim lives with his partner and children in his old family homestead in the once quaint Stittsville, Ontario.

FIXED HINge: Production & Mixing

Welcome to our fixed hinge...It’s pretty great here

its A SPACIOUS small LIVE ROOM: 425 SQ ƒeet and it is a perfect place for me and all the musical nonsense I love to work on TO BE HOUSED IN.

we tracks lots of variables here, from live bands to classical piano music. A BEAUTIFUL 1963 LUGWIG DRUM KIT AND A tip top 1976 Yamaha u1 Piano greets you and it goes from there.

FRANKLY, It is my pride and joy in non human form.

GEAR

WE HAVE A NICE SELECTION OF PREAMPS AND OUTBOARD GEAR (NEVE, API, STAM AUDIO, UNIVERSAL AUDIO) WITH A NICE VOCAL CHAIN THAT INCLUDES THE FLAVOURS OF 1176, LA2A, LA3A AND API 525.

MICROPHONE SELECTION I THINK WORKS GREAT HERE (VINTAGE Neumann:1971 U87 and 1973 m584), AEA RCA 44, TOWNSEND LAB SPHERE, PAIR OF ROYER R 121's, MULTIPLE TUBE MICS, AND MANY OTHERS FOR THE DRUMS AND GUITARS AND STRINGS AND THINGS.

MANY VINTAGE ELECTRIC AND ACOUSTIC GUITAR OPTIONS EXIST, AND IM A LOVER OF MINI SYNTHS, SO LOTS OF THOSE plus a newly aquired mellotron.

I RECORD USING LOGIC X THROUGH UNIVERSAL AUDIO APOLLO CONVERTORS. I USE LOTS OF THE AMAZING UNIVERSAL AUDIO PLUGINS & ALSO LOVE THE SOUNDTOYS, IZOTOPE AND PLUGIN ALLIANCE PRODUCTS.

I MIX THINGS THROUGH A DANGEROUS 2 MIX SUMMING MIXER, WHICH MELDS THE DIGITAL AND ANALOG WORLDS in a nice way.

MANY THANKS TO HHB CANADA, IZOTOPE AND UNIVERSAL AUDIO FOR THE AMAZING AND CONTINUED SUPPORT.

DISCLAIMER

I AM NOT A "REGULAR STUDIO" PER SAY, BUT I HAVE A STUDIO SPACE I LOVE.

I HAVE PRODUCED AND RECORDED ON A BUNCH OF STUFF IN HERE AND BEFORE HERE IN THE BASEMENT OF THE HOUSE RIGHT BESIDE HERE

THE NAMES YOU MIGHT KNOW WHO I HAVE WORKED WITH ARE: KATHLEEN EDWARD, THE SKYDIGGERS, LEANNE BETASAMOSAKE SIMPSON (WHICH WAS SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2021 POLARIS PRIZE), KALLE MATTSON (ALSO HIS SUMMERSETS PROEJCT), SUZie UNGERLEIDER, LITTLE SCREAM & KEN YATES. THERE ARE MANY MORE NAMES AND THEY ARE NO LESS EXCELLENT I ASSURE YOU.
