jamie williams live!

Jamie Williams has been performing professionally for over 25 years. As a headline performer at most of Central Ontario's premier vacation resorts, he has entertained audiences of people from all across North America. After his shows the response is always the same - "Wow! How does one guy produce such a big sound?!"

Jamie gives the answer to that familiar question:

“After spending some time on the road with various bands, I decided the lifestyle wasn't what I wanted. As a result my musical career leaned towards performing solo for a period of time, and I started playing coffeehouses and small venues with an acoustic guitar and harmonica. Although I enjoy this "laid-back" type of entertaining, I am a rock 'n' roller at heart. Feeling a little limited with this situation, I started to experiment with recording. I found that if  I recorded myself playing drums, I could use the track as accompaniment in a live performance, producing a much bigger, more upbeat sound.”

This led to the procedure Jamie uses today. In his studio he records all of the backing tracks for the numbers he plays live. A talented multi-instrumentalist, Jamie plays each and every instrument himself on the background tracks he uses in his live show. Even the vocal harmonies are painstakingly worked out and recorded. The result is a sound that is full and vibrant. Close your eyes and you will swear that a 5- or 6-piece band is playing up on stage.

Says Jamie, “This works for me because it allows me to be very versatile and play many different styles of music in my live show”.

Jamie has performed at universities, resorts, nightclubs and many different types of  hotels and events. In recent years, he has been very much involved with resorts in and around Ontario, from family oriented summer resorts to the slightly crazier atmosphere of ski resorts. He also plays at many corporate events, sports banquets, wedding dances, and any other venue where great live music is the ticket to a successful event.

“My stage setup usually consists of ten guitars (acoustic, electric, 6-string, 12-string, bass), banjo, two mandolins (different tunings), banjo, electric violin, piano/keyboard, saxophone, percussion (kick drum, snare, bongos, chimes,shakers etc.) and an arsenal of harmonicas. I'm told it's very entertaining. I'm glad because I love to play!”

Maple Leaf Sound Productions

Maple Leaf Sound is a 24 track recording studio near Elmvale, Ontario. I originally built it for my own personal use, but in 1995 I opened it to the public. It is a complete state-of-the-art digital recording facility to accommodate projects of any size or type.

Maple Leaf Sound can compose and create audio for any multimedia project. Juice-up your interactive CD-ROMS, video games and TV/Video productions with a soundtrack of original music. In addition to composing original music and jingles for your advertising or marketing campaign, Maple Leaf Sound can produce and record the final product, including voice-overs, to the highest technical standards.

Do you have an existing piece of music or audio clip that you would like to have transferred to Compact Disc? We can take almost any audio format and make the transition to CD, often improving the quality of the final product.

If you have already recorded your project elsewhere, it still has to be mastered in order to optimize your CD's fidelity and dynamic continuity. We can digitally master your recordings to the highest quality standards.
