Acoustic Classic Rock Covers

About Me

Jimi, founding member of "Lyme River", is a solo jam-musician, specializing in "Unplugged Classic Rock Cover Music", from the 50's to today!! Playing guitar, harmonica, keys and vocals, Jimi combines his extensive versatility as a musician with the vintage sounds that have made rock what it is today. "Acoustic Covers" are Jimis' mainstay. "I only record live, so it's all right there...I don't edit or double-take...just the acoustic sound....it's simple & real" There's also a freestyle side to his music, and electric improvisation is one of his favorite themes. Look for great blues & rock jam sessions, where the only limits are how long 'till the whiskey runs out!! See Jimi performing solo in bars or at parties with the incredible local talent, or sitting-in on harmonica with a number of other area musicians. As "Lyme River", Jimi performs with various members of the local band "Lyme Disease", or anybody else that wants to jam! Guest rockers are ALWAYS welcome..."It's all about the connection music provides between people"!! For parties, jam-sessions or locally live, Jimi & "Lyme River" are a must-see!! "I love impromptu sessions, just sitting down with friends & making music. There's so many awesome musicians in this area to rock with! Wanna sit-in with me?!?!" msprm name="flashvars" value="userID=260286032&bgColor=16711782&bgColor2=16 711731&transiti..23&transiti..b&showCapti..1" /
