Born and raised in Atlanta, Jim started playing electric guitar at age 15. His father was a jukebox repairman, and he made sure that young Jim stayed well-stocked with 45's of the music of the day. Years later, a friend of Jim's (who was a huge Buffett fan) introduced him to the Trop-Rock genre. He was immediately hooked and began playing acoustic tunes again. His duo was later hired as a Buffett tribute act by folks from the Atlanta and Lake Lanier Parrothead Clubs, and they've been building steam ever since. Jim has also, with the help of the Tropiholics band, recorded 2 CD’s of original music.
