I sit down with my good buddy Jimmy James and talk about his journey into country music and making his mark on Nashville!
Jimmy James Swamp Yankee Revival
Jimmy James SYR is a Country/Rock band from New Bedford, MA with a strong presence and following in Nashville, TN. Fans have dubbed JJSYR as Outlaw Country, as their original songs are written with an old school method of three chords and the truth. Their live show from beginning to end is full of energy and leave fans wanting more.
Jimmy James moved to Nashville, TN in September 2019 to see if he had "what it takes" to make it in Music City. He stepped off the plane with a guitar, a suitcase and a dream. The next few months would be like living in a dream, from attending a concert backstage at the Grand Ole Opry, playing at the unveiling and dedication of the Lynyrd Skynyrd Memorial in Gillsburg, MS, and becoming a regular at Puckett's of Leiper's Fork and Kimbro's Pickin' Parlor. Things were moving right along until the pandemic shut down the world. Jimmy moved back to New Bedford, MA in June of 2020 and he thought that his music career was over but in fact, it was just beginning. It would be back home that the band would be born. JJSYR returned to Nashville to play four shows in four nights in May 2021.
JJSYR is getting ready to record their debut EP, the band consists of Jimmy James - Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Nate Pires - Guitar, Michael Green - Guitar, Kev Patrick Nunes - Bass , Gil Santos - Drums and Jennifer Rae -Vocals.
