Called to tell the stories of unknown champions in our everyday lives, this artist has a 30+ year career as a producer, performer, writer, percussionist, and more. "I'm drawn to bringing attention to situations and people that teach us about our own humanity through courage, hope, tragedy, pain and redemption. As a student of 60s/70s music history, my music is a reflection of older values through the lens of today.” This former music professor and professional percussionist has reinvented himself to what he cherished as a 14-year-old, playing guitar and writing songs. As a percussionist, Jim was always intimately familiar with song structure. He incorporates guitar, vocals and percussion in his music. Now he has made his way to the front of the stage to say through lyrics and melody what he has long wanted to communicate to audiences.
