About Me

Jim has been playing the guitar since he was eight years old, and, growing up in the 1970s, he was influenced by many well-known guitarists ( Howe, Gilmour, Page ) as well as some lesser known masters ( Metheny, Towner, Hedges). Today, Dexter’s music has evolved into a mix of styles, with touches of rock, new age, jazz, folk, and Celtic music; his songs often delving into the relationship between people, nature and spirit. He has worked with a number of recording artists around New York and Long Island as both band member … Marci Geller Band, Jordan River (featuring members of Gordo Gringo and Wheatus)… and studio musician ( John Tabacco, GearHead Freaks, Rich Stein, Fuzzy Gray Logic, Nigey Lennon… also featuring Mike Keneally). Jim also has hosted a radio program since 1981- which can be heard Tuesday mornings between 7 and 9 on 90.1FM, WUSB StonyBrook ( www.wusb.fm)- featuring progressive music of all genres, from local to global artists.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 2/14/2008
Band Members: Currently, the "band" consists of me...and a handfull of guitars. However, I am always looking for a lead electric triangle player. The guitar pictured below ( The Jim Dexter 2000e) built by SB MacDonald. This is the best guitar on Earth...or anywhere else.

Please send thoughts and prayers of health and healing to my love, Heidi...and my good friend Edgar Stroke.
Peace.

Sounds Like: Some say that I sound like David Crosby when I sing and Michael Hedges when I play. I don’t know about that,but I do know that MORE people, independently, say that I LOOK like Kevin Spacey.
