Jim is the founder of the band Pirates, Guitars & Beachfront Bars.  His credits include 3 number one singles on various Trop Rock music charts and a host of high profile events including Meeting Of The Minds in Key West, FL and Parrot Grande in Pheonix, AZ.  

In 2021, Jim and his wife Jill made their second home on South Padre Island, TX.  Jim says "We've made so many friends on the island in the past year that I had to write a song about it".  SPF (South Parde Friends) became the latest number one single on both Radio Trop Rock and TikiPod Radio.  "I can't wait to start bringing our Trop Rock sound to  SPI" Jim adds.
