Jim Gill and Friends

Drawing on life experiences culled from his midwestern upbringing as the only son in an Irish family of ten, Jim Gill is rapidly making a name for himself in songwriting circles as a master wordsmith and a consummate entertaining performer. Many liken his signature, warm baritone voice to that of the late Jim Croce, while his stage presence is part Harry Chapin storyteller and part Robin Williams Night at The Improv. 

"Jim Gill is one of the finest singer/songwriters in the nation, let alone Ohio! And I'll stand on Steve Earle's kitchen table in my muddy shoes shouting this out at the top of my lungs!" – Louis Pastor, poet & music aficionado

Jim has two independent CD releases thus far which have received critical acclaim. The Free Times wrote, "A quiet intensity much like Greg Brown and John Gorka," while Plain Dealer music critic John Soeder commented, "A bright new voice in the Ohio music scene. Jim grabs your ear and doesn't let go whether he's delivering hard hitting tunes about the world around us or heartfelt personal ballads. Don't miss a chance to catch Jim Gill in concert!" To which Louis Pastor adds, "Damn straight!"

Gill and Friends' performance of "Oh How I Miss You" showcases not only John's superbly written ballad, but Gill's great voice. On this track, co-produced with Jim Ballard,  he is very capably backed by his own band.

Jim is currently performing around Ohio, the midwest and the northeast, while working on material for his third and fourth CD releases. You can see and hear more of this rare find on the Northcoast at www.JimGillMusic.com.
