Recording and Performing Artist, Producer and Engineer
Bio:
St Petersburg, FL resident Jim Gilmour began writing songs earnestly in 1998. His two albums, Quarterline and Flatworld (both produced by Ben Wisch), feature lyrics that are sometimes veiled and at other times chillingly frank, drawing from everyday experiences. His themes explore the temptations of addiction, love, love lost, and the power of connection, all while celebrating the mystery of life.
His sound has been likened to a cross between Peter Mulvey and David Crosby. Having been a bass player for most of his life, Jim’s guitar playing is deeply rooted in the groove.
In addition to his solo career, Jim continues producing and engineering for recording artists at his St Petersburg commercial recording facility, Southview Arts. He has also been a guitarist, bassist, and vocalist for various touring and recording acts. Jim frequently performs in a popular duo, Deserie and Jim with Deserie Valloreo. The duo focuses on their original music that showcases their impressive vocal harmonies.
Jim is honored to have contributed a track to the star-filled compilation album TOO MANY YEARS: A Benefit for Clear Path International, which supports victims of accidents involving explosive remnants of war in Vietnam.
