Go Jimmy Go

Island Sound Known The World Around!

About Me


Go Jimmy Go has always been a front-runner in the Hawaii music industry in creating original island music since 1996. The key to this success is due mainly to the frenetic moves and soulful vocals of lead singer Jason Bison Friedmann who mesmerizes audiences all across the US and abroad. Backing up the Bison are the driving beats from drummer/vocalist Shon Gregory, bassist Cameron Wright, and guitarist/vocalist Ian Ashley. Rounding out the crew and the bands link to the old-school sound on horns are Fernando Pacheco on trombone and tenor saxophonist, Eric White.

People who dont know what the Island Sound is need only be at one of the bands live shows to instantly find out. Go Jimmy Go imbues an attitude above all else the kind that tells you everything will indeed be alright, let loose, its all good. People are shakin it, the horns are layin it out, Bisons doing his thing, theres sweat and life is good. What you hear is something unique and original, yet altogether familiar: Jamaican rhythms, Hawaiian vibe, American-style Soul. Most importantly, at its core, the bands music moves the heart and elevates the soul bringing all who listen back again for more show after memorable show.
