Jim Gill Website

"Jim Gill is one of the best dang singer/songwriter's in the country,
let alone Ohio! And I'll stand on Steve Earle's prostrate body in my
muddy shoes shouting it at the top of my lungs!!" —Louis Pastor, music
aficionado and poet.

With a performance style that is part Harry Chapin storyteller and part
Robin Williams' Night at the Improv, Jim Gill is building a name for
himself as "an entertainer's entertainer". Audiences around northern
Ohio have been enjoying this tunesmith since 2001. "He writes with more
depth than your average poet," writes the Cleveland Free Times. The
Medina Gazette adds, "music that is sparse, introspective and
compelling." He was invited to write and perform three new songs for
the Baldwin Wallace College production of The Laramie Project and is a
finalist in the 2006 Kerrville Folk Festival new song competition in
Texas!

Accompanying himself on 6 and 12 string acoustic guitars, Jim's
signature baritone voice has been described by music producer Jim
Ballard as, "Jim Croce with warmth and range." His concerts also
include the occasional harmonica and a new "techie" wrinkle, a looping
device, allowing Jim to sample his own voice, and then sing over it,
creating exciting on-the-fly vocal harmonies. "He's a captivating
performer... don't miss a chance to catch Jim Gill in concert!",
observed Cleveland Plain Dealer music critic, John Soeder.

As memorable as the songs are, it's Jim's banter with audience members
between numbers that many fans have come to equally enjoy. Telling
stories culled from a life of being the only son in an Irish Catholic
family of ten gives Jim a wealth of hilarious material on which to
draw. "He is simply flat out hilarious!" noted Cuyahoga Falls venue
owner, Kelly Steele.

Find out why one reviewer following a concert at The Ritz Theater in
Tiffin wrote, "Jim Gill took the stage and lovingly led the audience
through the highs and lows of life. His guitar work, sensitive and
clever lyrics, and warm stage presence embraced the crowd. We truly
felt like we were part of an experience...a relaxed, colorful,
beautiful journey, rather than mere patrons at a concert." Discover
