Bio
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 Home 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, Donnie, and Johnny’s footsteps and become a singer.
It wasn’t long long before he formed a red-hot southern rock band. The rest, as they say, is 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.”
