Jim Gaudet

Greg Haymes, Preview, Albany Times-Union, March 29, 2007 One of the most respected literate musical talents on the capital region scene, JIM GAUDET is the rare singer/songwriter capable of dancing across the tightrope that stretches between wit and wisdom. Over the course of 5 stellar solo albums, GAUDET poured out finely crafted, deceptively simple musical stories that were by turn wry, socially aware, poignant and darkly humerous. Following the release of his 1998 album "Give Up The Ghost" GAUDET did just that, retiring from his burgeoning musical career to focus his attention on his family. Now, almost a decade later, he's in the studio making marvelous music once again, and he's back in the spotlight again too, having recently performed sold-out shows at both Caffe Lena's and the WAMC Performing Arts studio, "Linda Norris auditorium". Local fans couldn't be happier! Ellen Geisel, Hudson Valley Magazine, "For Jim Gaudet the equation is simple, straightforward, powerful performance plus user friendly repertoire equals accessible, consistent, lasting entertainment."
