"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 kitchen table in my muddy boots screamin' it at the top of my lungs!!" —Louis Pastor, poet, quoted in Medina Gazette "Absolute killer voice!" –Nancy Lackner, Three Rivers Productions With a performance style that is part Harry Chapin storyteller, part Robin Williams' Night at the Improv, Jim Gill is rapidly making a name for himself as a must-see act on the Northcoast. Audiences all over Ohio have been enjoying this performer since 2001. "He writes with more depth than your average poet," writes the Cleveland Free Times, adding, "he has a quiet intensity much like Greg Brown and John Gorka". Jim shared the stage with Gorka at the 2005 Village Folk Festival. The Medina Gazette wrote of Jim's work, "music that is sparse, introspective and compelling." 2007 has seen Jim open for Nashville artist, Mary Gauthier at the Columbus Performing Arts Center as well as numerous performances in Ohio and Pennsylvania. 2006 was a busy year as well for this talented tunesmith. He was invited to write and perform three new songs for a production of The Laramie Project, he finished first runner-up in the 2006 Pittsburgh Singer/Songwriter competition and he was 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. The effect is quite arresting! "...a captivating performer... don't miss a chance to catch Jim Gill in concert!" –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 outrageous material on which to draw. "He is simply flat out hilarious!" noted Cuyahoga Falls venue owner, Kelly Steele. "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." –Michael Strong, Director, The Ritz Theater |
