Default Jim Messina highly recommended

Just saw Jim Messina last night in a small theater in Walhalla, SC. Oh my…what a show! His voice remains crystal clear and his band was incredibly tight. Going in i was not exactly sure what to expect and boy did they deliver. He played a two hour set of mostly familiar tunes and delivered a great performance. Harmonies were spot on and the sound was very well mixed with every nuance heard. One of the highlights of the show was Steve Nieves a multi instrumentalist/percussionist who played a wide variety of horns and flutes with sax solos that lit up the room…he got a number of standing ovations. If you get the chance…i highly recommend the show.

I've loved his production and music for years. I'm glad he is still cranking it out.

I tend to favor musicality over flashy chops and I've always admired J. Messina's melodic and punchy style. You don't have to play a lot of notes-- just the right ones and he's always done that!

I couldn’t agree more on what you favor and that Messina hits it!
