Singer/ guitarist Jimmie Davis grew up raised on acoustic music. “My parents always had Bob Dylan or Don McLean
blaring in the house. In fact, the first song I learned on the guitar was Dylan’s ‘Blowing In The Wind.’
I never realized how influential those songs would be on my musical career.” This aforementioned career has taken Jimmie
from a variety of cover and original bands to solo work as a singer/ songwriter. Jimmie’s current focus is on performing
acoustic covers of the songs he loves. His current repertoire crosses genres of music, including classic rock, alternative,
blues, country, and modern rock.
Jimmie’s first taste of success came with local original favorites, Juliet’s
Wishing Well, in which Jimmie performed as electric guitarist. Jimmie spent close to two years touring with the alternative
band from New York to North Carolina; from Texas to Canada. In that time, they recorded the cd, high fashion, and shared the
stage with various national acts such as Fuel, Cheap Trick, Sister Hazel, and 10,000 Maniacs. After the band parted ways,
Jimmie lent his talents to original bands Hyper Maru and Isaiah’s Fool. Both projects showcased Jimmie‘s vocals
as well as his songwriting ability through live performances and recording. As a solo artist, a highlight of Jimmie’s
musical adventures includes being selected to open for folk legend Richie Havens at the Rehoboth Beach Folk Festival.
“I’ve
learned a tremendous amount from all of my musical endeavors” states Jimmie, “Each experience has shaped the vision
for how I view performing each song, whether they are covers or originals. I want to give back what countless musicians have
given to me- great music.”
