Jim Byrnes is an American-Canadian blues musician and actor who was born in 1948. He achieved professional recognition in the mid-1970s after relocating to Vancouver and is famous for a musical career that has earned him three Juno Awards for Blues Album of the Year for the recordings That River (1996), House of Refuge (2007), and Everywhere West (2011). Byrnes began a professional recording career with his debut studio album, Burning (1981), and his discography includes the studio recordings I Turned My Nights into Days (1987), Fresh Horses (2004), and My Walking Stick (2009). In 1972, he suffered the amputation of both legs following a vehicular accident, a condition reflected in his notable acting roles as Daniel “Lifeguard” Burroughs in the series Wiseguy (1987) and Joe Dawson in Highlander: The Series (1993). He was appointed as a member of the Order of Canada and the Order of British Columbia for his contributions to the arts.
