Jim Armstrong "Mudtown"

 

Additional Info

 

Mudtown is a straight ahead alt-roots-rock album that shoots from the hip and aims at the heart. With his first solo CD, Mudtown, Toronto-based musician Jim Armstrong has crafted a collection of thirteen songs with musical and emotional hooks that stick unshakably with the listener. The CD was released through Sonic Deli Records (sonicdelirecords.com) on May 10, 2007.

 

Armstrong is an accomplished singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer who has spent many years performing (drummer and/or front man), developing and producing indie artists, as well as writing and recording for corporate clients. He has also scored films such as Canton Film Studios’ The Adulterer’s Guide to Toronto (2007). Now, he’s stepping authoritatively in front of the curtain to unveil Mudtown, his solo debut.

 

The title and driving spirit of Mudtown were born during Jim's wanderings through downtown Toronto, where he lives, works and walks his dogs. Jim explains, "Life can be dirty, rough and mean, but there's a breed of people who struggle against the grind and somehow keep their humanity. They don't get hard, like the city, and that's what makes Mudtown liveable."
