Jim's Concert Footage:
image California Video - Coming Soon!



Jim transports his concert audiences on
a cinematic "melodic journey" enhanced
by his performance videos: evocative
multimedia montages coordinated with
the music, projected behind him as he
plays. In the course of an evening Jim
weaves his musical themes around
breathtaking visions of Irelandís Cliffs
of Mohr, the majesty of the California
redwoods, and enchanting moonlit
visions of late-night Paris. Click below

"California" (from A Place In My Heart)
in concert.
