Jim Earp - October 28

Posted on the September 5th, 2007 under misc by Steve Eller

Jim Earp is coming to Rancho Vista Church (my church) to share some of his great music, and musicianship. I first heard Jim in 1989 when he was playing with a band called the Mooncookies while I was playing with a band called Code 7. Our bands played together at the Spirit club (now Brick By Brick) in San Diego. I was amazed at his sound and artistry. He is one of the better guitarists I have ever heard.

Here is one of his CD’s on iTunes: Jim Earp - The Collection

Check out some of his reviews:

2005 INTERNATIONAL FINGERSTYLE GUITAR CHAMPIONSHIP “TOP FIVE” FINALIST

“…Jim mixes an uncanny ear for melody with an edgy, percussive attack…throw in driving rhythms, beautiful, crystalline tone, and deft…technique…This is no wimp folkie, this is a player.”
- Guitar Player Magazine

“…(Jim’s) fingerstyle method of guitar playing incorporates a beautiful cascade of clearly defined notes within a layered melodic backdrop…on par with Phil Keaggy’s instrumental acoustic projects.”

- CCM Magazine
