   About Jim Carlson
Jim Carlson hails from the Midwestern city of Wausau, Wisconsin; where he has spent the last two decades as a solo performer (as a acoustic folk/rock singer/songwriter), performed with various bands, produced music festivals and been a stage crew member for touring national acts (both musical and theatrical).

Jim's first solo CD, "Out of Fashion" was released in January 2003, featuring original music in the singer/song writer style.  For the next four years, Jim performed constantly, both as a solo artist, leading the Jim Carlson Trio and occasionally as a hard rock/punk guitarist (Doc Holiday, Cool Hand).

In December 2006, after returning from performing in Europe, Jim announced he was taking a break from 'regular performances'. He also formally scrapped the recordings from the "Further Out" recording sessions, declaring the tracks sounded "as though a tired singer/songwriter entered the studio out of obligation rather than passion." After a seven month break from the circut, Jim returned to performing in May 2007.

In Spring 2009, Jim returned to the studio with new songs and a revitalized energy. Although recording has resumed, no release date or working title has been announced.

In addition to performing as a headliner, Jim also plays guitar for the roots rock/rockabilly band Cool Hand.

Hey there...

I'm just messaging people that have commented on our page:)

We really need your help!

We are in a race to record a full album for free at Canada's #1 STUDIO! Metalworks.

Please take a second and vote for us at:
http://www.4therekord.com/html/rules.php

If you do a 'super-vote' email your address to bookings@trainlightband.com and we will send you a signed CD - and you will get into our next concert in your area free.

If you're not an Ontario resident let us know - because you have to use an Ontario address!

All the best!

Christian (Trainlight)

p.s. just posted another song ...
In a nut-shell its about that feeling of lonliness we all have - sometimes someone doesn't understand you - actually most of the time... kinda hard especially when you really want them to 'get it' - its called 'let you go';
