Jim Dow - Guitar
Jim's music career has followed a long and winding
road with many interesting stops along the way. With
more than 20 years of playing and teaching
experience, he has developed a reputation as a
musical chameleon. His guitar work has been
featured in a wide variety of settings from Pop Rock
and Big Band Jazz to being a regular mainstay on
the West Michigan gospel circuit.
The legendary comedian Bob Hope, Hootie and The
Blowfish, roots rocker John Hiatt and Gospel singer
Sandi Patti are just a few of the artists Jim has
shared a stage with over the years. His musical
versatility as a member of many of the region's
theatre productions have included the likes of the
historic Red Barn Playhouse and Kalamazoo's Civic
Theatre to the annual Christmas production of Hark
Up! at Fair Haven Ministries.
While musically enriched by these many experiences
in an ensemble setting, Jim has increasingly focused
his attention on developing as a solo artist.
Performing on both acoustic and classical guitar,
Jim's eclectic repertoire has grown to include
everything from Bach to the Beatles, Blues and
Ragtime to exciting instrumental arrangements of
numerous Pop, Jazz and Bluegrass standards.
Always a 'true gentleman' on the gig, Jim continues
to warm the hearts of everyone he meets.
