"One Of The 50 Most Influential Musicians In Seattle History,” according to Seattle Metropolitan Magazine, Jim Page began his career in California in the 60s in the same scene that Jefferson Airplane and the Doobie Brothers came out of.
His early inspirations were blues singers like Lightnin’ Hopkins and Jimmy Reed, songwriters like Buffy Sainte Marie and Woody Guthrie, and the ever-changing talent pool of local players.
He came to Seattle in 1971 after spending a year in Greenwich Village.
His songs have been covered by The Doobie Brothers, Christy Moore, Dick Gaughan, Michael Hedges, Roy Bailey, and Leftover Salmon.
Come for his new recording, THE TIME IS NOW, and for laughter and keen insight and a fine sense of community!
“Jim’s been writing great topical songs for as long as I can remember, bringing his acute wit and wry humor to a host of subjects that can really use both. In the tradition of Woody and Dylan, he cuts right to the heart with music you actually enjoy listening to. I’m a longtime admirer.” BONNIE RAITT“
Every now and again I encounter a singer who gives me a glimmer of hope. Jim Page carries the light.” CHRISTY MOORE“
Searing, compassionate lyrics, with an always rightfully placed ironic or humorous note; Jim Page’s words, like his music, are for both the mind and soul. He urges us to live our lives to their fullest, and, reassures those who do.” WINONA LADUKE
