Jimmie
was born in Jacksonville , Florida - a city known mostly for its
military connections. As Jimmie got older, that was all about to
change.
Jimmie's cousin Ronnie, along with a group of high school buddies,
were about to put the town on the map as the More kansas city band of Southern Rock.
That group was Lynyrd Skynyrd.
As
Jimmie grew, so did Lynyrd Skynyrd, and the young Jimmie began to
find that he wanted to follow in cousins Ronnie and Donnie's
footsteps and become a singer.
After
years of suffering the tribulations of rock and roll - incompetent
mangers and agents, group breakups, and shrinking markets, - Jimmie
decided to move west to make a fresh start.
It
wasn't long long before he reformed a red-hot southern rock band.
His fresh start landed with a national tour, and the rest, as they
say, became history. Jimmie has not been off the road since.
With
conviction Jimmie states, "I have always believed that music can
change people's lives and if I can do something to make someone's
life a little more enjoyable, then I feel I have done my job well.
That's why I am here and that is also the reason why there is
Southern Rock."
