Jamie is recognized as a true musical innovator. His many talents include being a master of the ancient percussion stringed instrument called the hammered dulcimer (he won the 2002 National Hammered Dulcimer Championship), inventing an instrument he calls the "mini-kit" (a miniature amplified drum kit), playing pyrocussion (fire drums) and creating the Realmsmobile (a recumbent tricycle with the mini-kit attached, enabling him to ride and play drums simultaneously), among many other diverse creative outputs.
Jamie maintains a rigorous touring schedule year-round with many projects that he rotates through, including ZILLA (w/ Michael Travis from SCI and Aaron Holstein), SPORQUE (w/ Ooah and Aaron from ZILLA) and from duets with Rena Jones to large ensemble gigs with Everyone Orchestra, among several other projects. When not playing music, you can find Jamie connecting dots around the world in extensive travels and collaborations in multiple creative realms.

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
Hi! much Arcata love here, you guys should show up here sometime were good for it!:) i meet you at the ore country fair! you guys are so awsome together!

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
Praang at Waka = hands down the best show of the weekend for me. After you perform in Denver in October you should travel to Lawrence and party with us at EOTO the next day for Halloween. Costumes are a must so maybe you can sneak around incognito and nobody will know it's you. Just a thought.. Hope to see you there. Gettin down with the Lawrence crowd is unlike anything else.
Hey Jamie! I like what your doin with Lynx, dig the new CD i picked up at Roth. Sucks I missed the show, but I REALLY hope I get a chance to see ya sometime this summer. Love&Light
Hey Jamie Janover! Hope you're having a great summer!! Keep me in mind if you need any mastering done. Still only $25 per song and $100 for an EP, mix-tape, or full CD! Thanks!! Jim Wavelength MD
