Jim co-fronts the band with Becki Sue. A top notch entertainer with a rich, pure voice, he tears into the harp and tenor sax with equal fervor. His stage presence, sense of humor, and ability to connect with an audience help make Becki Sue & her Big Rockin' Daddies! the premier showcase Pacific Northwest blues band. Jim has been entertaining audiences in the Pacific Northwest for over 25 years. Known for his honkin’ tenor sax and ferocious blues harp playing, he is the former band leader of the BB Award winning "The Nightsticks", former member of regional favorites, "Junkyard Jane”, and often, the featured soloist for "The Two Scoops Combo”. Jim displays an exciting stage presence and possesses a sharp, quick wit, honed from over ten years as the lead singer and front man for the ‘fabulous’ "Royals", who reigned supreme from the early days of Pioneer Square’s live music scene thru the early ‘90’s. He would play the part of Elwood Blues when the band performed their popular Blues Brothers tribute. Drawing from deep roots in a wide variety of styles, including country, swing, rock ‘n roll and, of course, the blues, Jim is a driving force behind the musical and visual aspects of "Becki Sue & her Big Rockin’ Daddies!". Jim has received several BB Award nominations for "Best Harmonica” and "Best Horn” by The Washington Blues Society most recently being nominated for "Performer of the Year" in 2006 and winning the 2006 "Best Horn" award.
