| Jim has enjoyed singing and playing guitar since he was a teenager. His dad bought him his first guitar at the age of thirteen and he fell in love with playing from that day. The support from family and friends has been a driving force in Jim's life and his music. His style is a mix of adult contemporary, acoustic rock and a little country. He was influenced at an early age by singer/songwriters like Harry Chapin, Jim Croce, Gordon Lightfoot and Neil Diamond. "I have always been touched by the ballads and a song with a good story and I try to convey a message in all of the songs I write." One of Jim's songs, "Stillwaters" has been heard locally on 107.7 FM "The Lake". It was also been selected to be on The Lake's Local Music CD Vol. 4. Proceeds from the sales of The Lake's CDs goes to Music Is Art. This is an organization that donates funds and materials to local public schools to help the music departments.
