Sci-Fi Jim

Performing since his teens, Sci-Fi Jim has worked both solo and in bands, covering styles including rock, folk, country, blues, jazz, indie, rock and roll, alt-country and Americana. For live solo shows, he mostly plays acoustic guitar (with octave bass emulator), drum pedals, tambourine and harmonica. No backing tracks are used - everything you hear is live. Comfortable playing shows of up to 3 hours (with two breaks), his repertoire includes a range of well-known classics (including Dock of the Bay, Drift Away, Copperhead Road, Stand By Me, Love the One You're With and (around Christmas) Fairytale of New York), along with several lesser-known but upbeat songs specially chosen and tailored to suit the event. His style is adaptable, from mellow afternoon jazz and blues through to end-of-the-night party songs, and he alters the set in real time to accommodate the type of audience he's playing to. With many years of experience, professional equipment and an immaculate reliability track record, Sci-Fi Jim is definitely worth any venue taking a chance on. --- SFJ is based in Anstruther, NE Fife, and is willing to travel anywhere in Scotland by negotiation. For longer distances, overnight accommodation may be required, but for the central belt this isn't needed. Posters can be tailor-made and posted to venues in advance if requested. ---
