Jimmy was born in NYC and raised in the beautiful Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. His parents bought him his first musical instrument, an accordion (a veritable polka “giant” in the offing) at age 16, but dropped the squeezebox for a guitar, when bitten by a Beatle. From 1968, the year of his first gig at a local youth center to now, a span of 51 years, he’s performed in duos, trios and 5-6 piece bands, covering night clubs to concert halls throughout the Lehigh Valley and beyond. Jimmy’s band membership included, Back in the Day, Johnny’s Jukebox, the Weezin’ Geezers, Nathan, and Flagg.
