Artist description Oversensitive 21-year-old sings about love and longing, records at home, plays acoustic shows, has interesting diatribes about the deconstruction of mankind, love, government, and da ladies. Seeking to branch out further with a sound that's as versatile as The White Album (he'd like to hope so anyways).

Artist History Started playing back in 1991, became guitarist for such mind-blowing projects as Cheesy Couch Treasures, Einstein's Creation, and Bad Shakespeare, before coming into his own with the breakthrough Indiana band Midian. After Midian went their separate ways (sniff sniff), and other members formed the equally good Noon Blue Apples, Jimmy decided it was time to pursue his own love of muzak so he went solo, and started recording 4-track demos. The albums that changed his life were The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds, The Beatles' Revolver, Radiohead's OK Computer, and Matthew Sweet's Girlfriend. Later he had gained access to new equipment, with a little help from his friends, and now he's officially going to have his first CD release this Halloween. Yippy! So if you dig the MP3s, e-mail me, and i'll sell you a 12-track CD for only $7.00! Such a sweet deal :)
