December

Jim Peace, a long-time friend and musical partner of Sandra’s, passed away after a battle with cancer. He was 62. 

The Cochrane-based singer-songwriter-producer and founder of the country-folk band, Prairie JuSTuS, was a headliner for many music festivals and concerts across Canada for more than 30 years. Jim and his band would often accompany Sandra on stage, which included several performances at the Calgary Stampede, and a bucket list performance at the Jack Singer Concert Hall with the Calgary Civic Symphony. He will be remembered for his sharp wit, his love of animals, the wilderness and Canadian cowboy culture and music. 

Most of all, Jim was a storyteller. Through his songs, he loved to share western traditions and cowboy values. “I’ve always liked songs that tell stories that touch people,” Jim would often say. “It’s great when someone comes backstage after a show to tell you how a song you played connected with them.”
