Jimmy Haggard - Guitarist, Singer, Songwriter
Jimmy started playing music before he was 10, when his mother sent him
to piano lessons. At that young age, Jimmy learned the basics of
music theory. He got his first guitar at 15 and took guitar
lessons from a Public Television education program and never looked
back. For over 30 years Jimmy has played his guitar, developing
a style steeped in blues and folk roots, with some serious
rock influence.
During his travels in the United States, Jimmy played some dive bars in
Seattle, and ended up in the mid-west, where he played with a
series of bands:
In Transit, Sweet Rat, Dirt Road, Dreamer and Power.
After making it back to
the west coast and into Los Angeles, Jimmy became a regular at the
Central on Sunset Strip, playing with some of the industries best
artists. He also performed at LA Songwriters showcases and joined MisterB
and his band, playing the LA club and party scene.
Now in Raleigh North Carolina, Jimmy's blues roots have found a home.
