About Me

Hey. Here's a quick idea of what I've been doing. You can check my website for more history and the full calendar.
I play bass in the Tommy Tutone Band (also Band Leader) . Tom and I also play an acoustic guitar duo as well at times. I play a solo acoustic guitar show which I tour mainly in Europe with. I also have my own band, The Jimmy James Explosion, which plays full time here in sparkling Tampa, FL when I'm not on the road. My guitars have taken me to some fantastic places; Italy, Sicily, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Turkey, Egypt, Sinai, France, Portugal, Luxumburg, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, England, Scotland, Canada, St. Croix, Bahamas, Antigua, Dominican Republic, St Maartin, Trinidad, Honduras, Mexico and Japan.
I have product endorsements with Gibson Guitars, ESP Guitars, Marshall Amplifiers, Hammond Organs, Rick Turner Guitars & Phantom Guitars. I have wonderful custom guitars made for me by Gibson, Fender, Rick Turner and my ultimate bass made for me by Phill Kubicki, luthier to the Gods.
I have also been fortunate to play with the following acts in the past: Bad Company, Mike Tramp/White Lion, Brenda Lee, Animotion, Fabian, The Coasters, The Marvellettes, Lou Christie & Bobby Lewis.
I am glad to have shared the bill with these performers: The Romantics, The Knack, The Smithereens, Berlin, Devo, Steppenwolf, Missing Persons, The Motels, Thomas Dolby, The Fixx, Naked Eyes, Flock of Seagulls, Leon Russell, Lou Rawls, Men at Work/Colin Hay, The Outfield, Rick Derringer, Bay City Rollers, Bow Wow Wow, Foghat, Georgia Satellites, Quiet Riot, 10,000 Maniacs, Wang Chung, Cutting Crew, Tone Loc, Survivor, Eddie Money, Cheap Trick, Ritchie Sambora, Vanilla Ice and many more.
