Jimmy Famous Bio

I am currently playing bass with a few bands in the Minneapolis
area.

"Wolves at the Door"  is a "Rock" band featuring original music with
some great cover tunes.   

“Bruce Nygren and the Mumble Bugs”  is an all original blues band.

"Elbow Room"  is a jazz band playing real book standards.

My spare time is spent in my home studio studying music, writing
and recording my own music.  

I am currently using Digital Performer on a Mac.
I also have experience using Cakewalk Sonar Producer on a PC.
(see the Music page for mp3's).

In 2003 one of my original songs "Time After Time" was
picked for the independent film "Mindforest"
(see
mindforestmovie.com).  I also had a supporting role in
the film.  The song was performed by Zone 4
(see
zone4rocks.com).
I played over 50 gigs as rhythm guitarist with Zone 4 from
December 2001 until August 2003.

My teen years were spent playing drums in and around
Chicago, IL and Milwaukee, WI.
