Bio:

Hi folks, I play guitar with bands and write songs and engage in various forms of serious mischief. I play a lot with Americana jam-band Great American Taxi. Also sometimes with Todd Snider, Frank Wakefield, Lacy J. Dalton, Harmony Grits, and others. In the past I've been honored to perform or record with some of my heros like Bill Kreutzmann, Gillian Welch, Don Was, Jack Cassady, Peter Rowan, Leftover Salmon, Railroad Earth, Chip Taylor and Mary McCaslin. I play acoustic and electric guitar. I've spent a lot of time playing honky-tonks, hippie jams, Bluegrass festivals, and all sorts of stuff. I try to weave between worlds... also am a denizen of the studio and producer of recorded audible phenomena. When not picking, I enjoy concocting conspiracy theories, calculating numerological equations, extrapolating archetypes and engaging in other such paranormal behavior. Thanks for reading this far. Please proceed through your life experience with the utmost pleasure and satisfaction. CD "PICTURES" Availible on Itunes and CD Baby now! http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/jimlewin JIM LEWIN P.O.
