Folk singer and songwriter "Jim Bob" Atkinson grew up in upstate New York, where he took up the guitar at the age of thirteen. While going to college at Colgate University he played in local coffee houses for extra money.
Jim Bob has continued to play and write his sometimes funny, sometimes heart-felt music; telling stories of life and family for the last 25 years. During that time, he has also learned to play Harmonica, Mandolin, Flute, Penny Whistle and Banjo.
He performs Acoustic solo locally and was a member of the "Zin Bubba" band for seven years. His Christmas shows for seniors and children are so popular that they begin booking him in May.
He plays a variety of music and performs solo or with others as a duet or a trio. This includes original music, folk, rock & roll and Irish.
