Jimmy has developed his sound from the bar rooms and saloons of Western Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh. He received his musical Baptism from such local legends as Billy Price, Norm Nardini, the Clarks, Rusted Root and the SPUDS. Jimmy has a play list that includes an eclectic mix of music from Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, The Beatles, Police, REM, to more contemporary acts such as Dwight Yoakam, David Gray, John Hiatt and Old Crow Medicine Show. His original songs are the result of a very broad interest in music, mixing Country Western, Blues, R&B, Soul, Rock and Roll and Alternative genres. “I believe that a song should tell a story, whether it be humorous, emotional or topical.” And Jimmy’s music is all of that. From the subtle irony and humor of “Dear Marcy” to the emotion driven “All Together, All Alone” he tries to reach each and every one of us in some way or other. His essence is really captured in his live shows, full of energy, humor and just good old fashioned entertainment. “I’m not the best guitar player and I don't always sing it like "that guy on the record", but I’d just like every person to leave my show with the notion that they had a good time. I guess that would categorize me best, good time, party music.”
