Special GUEST Jim Bachmann –
“Bachmann uses his geetar to blend meaty chunks of blues, country, honky tonk, and other rootsy sounds to create an enticing sonic concoction of Americana… ” ~ Phoenix New Times

Arizona singer-songwriter Jim Bachmann believes his career began when his Air Force enlisted father met his mother at a backwoods honky tonk in the wilds of upstate New York, where his grandfather played four hour gigs, four nights a week with his family band. The die was cast in familial bonds, handed down guitars, and country music.

Recently relocated to Tulsa, Oklahoma, Bachmann has been entertaining the Phoenix scene over the past decade, sharing the stage with heroes and friends such as Billy Joe Shaver, Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, Whitey Morgan and the 78’s, Dallas Moore, Shinyribs, Reckless Kelly, The SteelDrivers, Ramsay Midwood, Mike and the Moonpies, Jeremy Pinnell, Paul Cauthen and more.

Raised in the saguaro and creosote dotted Sonoran Desert lends a unique definition to Bachmann’s sound. Described as “Stonerbilly” in the Arizona press, Bachmann’s music is an amalgam of American roots music that deftly blends traditional country, honky tonk and blues with echoes of the regional Mexican-influenced sounds wafting up from the nearby border. Bachmann has crafted a new milieu while staying true to country music traditions. His mellow, easy voice imparts wise lyrics that hint of a life of honest living, blending autobiographical nuance and a wistful, sly sense of humor.
