Jami's musical influences are songwriters like Jim Croce, Hank Jr., Waylon Jennings, Bobby Pinson and James LeBlanc. He has spent his whole life studying performers like Elvis and GarthBrooks. Jami has come a long way as an artist and songwriter since being in Nashville. He received several single song contracts from Charlie Craig of Song Machine Music. Charlie was very influential in helping him hone his craft he spent time working with him till Jami got to a place where he was ready for a publishing deal. Jami began writing every day determined to give every bit of himself to his music. He has believed that honesty and integrity would be the key to success as a songwriter. Jody Williams arranged a writer's appointment for Jami with one of his hit songwriters Mark Narmore. Mark and Jami pinned the song "Paid For It" which is the song Rick Hall heard and offered him a publishing deal on the spot. Rick claimed it was one of the best-written songs he had ever heard and was taken by Jami's performance. Buddy Jewel on Lyric Street Records recently recorded this song. "Paid For It" is Jami's first cut and is giving him the momentum in Nashville he has worked hard to receive. Jami signed a publishing deal with legendary Muscle Shoals Alabama producer Rick Hall at Big Muscle Music a division of FAME and began working under Rick's guidance writing songs that to date are on hold by various artist. The American Legion and The Alliance Defense Fund have picked up a song he wrote while working with Charlie Craig called "What About Arlington" for a national campaign they embarked on this spring. Jami Grooms and The Catfish Johnston Band have been performing in venues of every kind every Friday and Saturday night for the past six years, learning how to entertain an audience and draw a crowd. He has a very strong following in southern Tennessee and Alabama and has been able to find a fan base for his original music, which is what he loves to play the most. Jami has just put out his third CD of his music that he sales at his shows nightly. Jami has been featured on radio shows like the "Billy Block Western Beat" and the KIX 96 "Muscle Shoals To Music Row". What About Arlington Written By: Jami Grooms, Shane King and Charlie Craig The American Legion, Liberty Legal Institute, and The Alliance Defense Fund are using this video in a national campaign to protect religious symbols on the tombstones and the monuments in Arlington National Cemetery that honor the fallen hero's of this great country.

Hi there Jami Grooms first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.

Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people make sure you bookmark www.tthlabel.com so that in the even that we do close our myspace account you will not lose contact with us. Thanks again for being our myspace pal!
