Bio
Kathleen O'Brien
Jim is an astounding musician. I personally have not hired him for a gig, but I have seen & enjoyed his performances in a vast spectrum of musical events. Rock and roll, blues, jazz - he can do it all. The man can anything. I don't think he's ever met a song he didn't like. His voice is on par with Van Morrison's and Eric Burdon's - a deep and resonant earthy sound. His bass play is equal in stature. I was pleasantly surprised a year ago (I live out of town) to go into a small bar with friends and see him playing on stage. What a serendipity! Jim's level of play has matured into (an) even more solid smooth play. The guitar in his hands is facile. He can play it strong with a classic riff or coo the music out like silk. It is always a pleasure to hear him perform. He is very humorous and willing to try any idea. Best of all, the audience leaves satisfied like they have had a private concert with a great musician. They will always want one more song.

Jim is a first class musician and an excellent performer. He gives 100 percent night in and night out and is fun to work with and to watch perform. On top of this, he is a very creative musician who finds just the right musical accent to lift a song up to its full potential. He has a great sense of humor, as well. If we weren't nearly 500 miles apart, I'm sure we'd still be working together!
