Jim has written original songs and played coffeehouses since he was 18 years old in the 1970’s. A founding brother of bro-country in 2004, Jim became a treasure finder in the public domain in 2006. He discovered “‘the poem’ Concord Hymn” was written to match a beloved church melody - a familiar tune still today. In 2013, Jim found “Concluded” the vital, National-Treasure verse written in 1861 to amend and complete “the Star-Spangled Banner” from 1814, USA’s national Anthem. Jim still enjoys performing as a songwriter, laughs a lot, enjoys barbecuing, word games, fitness Challenges, honoring the Lord, running, hiking and kayaking with his wife Bethany.
