James Mackenzie is set to release the mini-album Curtain Road on Monday 6 February 2012. The five track offering was recorded at London’s Strongroom Studios and was produced by Grammy Award winning producer Steve Orchard (Travis, Chris Cornell, Bela Fleck).

Mackenzie launches into 2012 on the back of another strong year, which saw the young Highland artist continue to develop his craft and build on his impressive live CV. Particular highlights included his main stage performance at Scotland’s second largest festival RockNess, appearances at Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival, Insider Festival, Loopallu, and receiving media support from the likes of Jim Gellatly, BBC Introducing in Scotland, STV and BBC 3.

To support this release, Mackenzie will be live throughout the UK this February.
