Jim Walsh's The Replacements: All Over But The Shouting In Stores November 15

About Me


What can I say about myself? Well, as a friend said I'm in my 40's, look like I'm around 30, and act like a 20 year old. I'm a complex person who can be serious and introspective one second and a total goof ball the next. I'll watch or listen to something artistic and then follow it up with Married With Children or Springer. Music is my main passion, and I've had about every music related job that one can have in a small city like Sioux Falls. I've attempted to play in bands (but I suck), but for the most part I'm behind the scenes. I have promoted shows, worked in record stores, DJ'd at local clubs and radio stations, and was the music editor for an indie newspaper for almost 12 years. Currently, I have a non-glamorous day job helping run the family business, but I also write for a local magazine and host a weekly segment on the local rock station. Most of my off-time is spent at my favorite coffee shop, Black Sheep Coffee, or the greatest dive bar of all time, the Top Hat.
