JIM ROBERTS - GUITAR & VOCALS
Jim was born in Chicago and raised in the Midwest, where at an early age he was exposed to local blues

point of his playing today. His vocal style is polished and ranges from smooth to powerful. Over the years,
he has performed as a solo artist, as well as fronting numerous bands. Jim has written songs for, and
performed with, Seals and Crofts and Arista recording artist Danny Deardorff. He has also opened for
