   About Jim Lewin
One of the busier guitarists out of Central California, Jim Lewin has been rocking in the free world for the last thirty odd years. Whether as a sideman, songwriter, session player, or bandleader, Jim puts a little magic in all the music he makes. A melodic and versatile guitarist, Jim is a man of many Genres. In addition to his own group, Lewin plays regularly with americana jam-band Great American Taxi (featuring Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon), country legend Lacy J. Dalton, historic mandolinist Frank Wakefield, bluegrassers Harmony Grits, and Afro-New Orleans-funksters the Jesse Hiatt Band. In the past he has performed and recorded with such luminaries as Bill Kreutzmann, Jack Cassady, Gillian Welch, Leftover Salmon, Todd Snyder, Chip Taylor and Mary McCaslin. Equally at home on acoustic or electric guitar, Jim’s style combines rock, country, blues, jazz, and burning bluegrass flatpicking. His years of adventures in countless bands and musical situations shine through in his soulful playing and singing, and his seemingly infinite repertoire. His original songs can make a room laugh, cry, or get up and boogie! When not picking, Jim enjoys concocting conspiracy theories, calculating numerological equations, extrapolating archetypes and engaging in other such paranormal behavior. Look out for his new CD, "PICTURES" Availible on Itunes and CD Baby now! JIM LEWIN P.O. Box 8121 Santa Cruz, CA 95061 (831) 325-1766 ©2003-2008 www.jimlewin.com

Hey Jim,
I listened to all your tunes! Sounding great as usual. I especially liked your version of Lime Rock.
Looks like you'll be out my way at Del Fest... too bad I'll be pickin' elsewhere... I'm sure we'll link up somewhere. You gonna be at Fall Strawberry?
