Acoustic Jim (aka Jim Hustwit) is a singer-songwriter from Leeds. He first played live at the end of 2007 when a friend coerced him in to an opn mic. Since then he has been on a mission to become and accomplished performer and songwriter and has recently released his debut EP (which incidently is avaiable for free download). His music is driven by the acoustic guitar and is embellished with catchy hooks and harmonies. Lyrically the songs are inspired by things which have affected him on an emotional level and in most cases, are things which the listener can relate to. Little known facts about Jim include: 1) He finds wrting in the 3rd person weird 2) He enjoys spreading marmite on croissants – if you don’t know what marmite is you are missing out on a spread which could change your life! 3) He has no direct touch sensation in his left ring finger due to servering the nerves whilst break dancingCheck out www.acousticjim.co.uk for Free downloads

Band Website: AcousticJim.co.uk
Band Members: Jim Hustwit
Influences: My music has been shaped by every band I've ever listened to... even if it isn't always evident. Eric Clapton, Stone Roses, Ozrick Tentacles, James Brown, Ronnie Size, Jack Johnson, Beatles, Oasis, Rage Against the Machine, Leftfield, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Jamiroquai, Guru, Rae and Christian, Gorillaz, Peshey, Del la Soul, and the list goes on and on. More recently my music has been shaped by the likes of Brett Dennen, Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Ray LaMontagne, Jason Mraz, John Mayer and some dude I saw busking in the London Underground last Saturday.

Sounds Like: You decide. I'd like to think it's fairly unique but then influences might always be evident.

Record Label: Unsigned
