Jim was first inspired to pursue guitar from his exposure to the Beatles as their music still moves him today. In the early years Jim’s main focus was straight up rock covering bands like Grand Funk Railroad, Black Sabbath and
Jimi Hendrix to name a few. After hooking up with some more professional musicians Jim started playing everything from Tower of Power to the Doobie Brothers and anythingin between.

For a number of years he switched gears and started playing Progressive and Classical Rock focusing on bands such as Yes, Gentle Giant and Focus. Born and raised in Moncton, NB, Jim played professionally all over the Maritimes for 12 years before packing up and moving to BC. Here he joined forces with local musicians and formed the rock band Crisis. Crisis covered mainly top 40 rock by bands like Cheap Trick, Van Halen, Toto, Lynard Skynard and many others.

Jim started working with the band in October of 2014 and has been Rockin’ ever since and enjoying
every minute of it.
Jim is a perfectionist at his craft and is a very welcome member of The LowDown!
