Jim King
Jim King is an accomplished singer, musician and performer. The artist has
original vocal hits, Cindy Lou, Lone Star Beer and a Sweet Tater. On most of
the 13 albums Jim is playing harmony on twin guitars. At his shows you will be
able to hear unique styles of this fine guitarist, classical, country and jazz. Jim
is a guitarist with a stunning and broad command of his instrument. His
timeless affirming music seamlessly fuses tradition with a more contemporary
sound that appeals to all generations.
As a "Native" Texan, Jim has now moved back to his home state to live full
time and has put together a great band of fellow Texas musicians. They have
fun on stage and make sure that everyone who comes to see them also has a
good time, whether they dance or just come to listen to their music and visit
with their friends.
