More Information
An active musician since his teens, Sci-Fi Jim has performed both solo and in bands of various sizes, covering styles including rock, folk, country, blues, jazz, indie, rock and roll, alt-country and Americana. A versatile multi-instrumentalist (playing, among other things, guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, harmonica, mandolin, bouzouki and percussion), SFJ has been playing live shows since the 1990s and completed several session recordings for a number of artists. He is currently recording a series of solo covers albums, which you can hear samples from on SoundCloud (links below), Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and other major platforms. (Note - these are often multi-instrumental tracks and so are a little different from the live performances, but they'll give you an idea of what SFJ is about!) For live solo shows, he mostly plays acoustic guitar (with octave bass emulator), bass drum, 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, Sit Down, Stand By Me, New England 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 same-day return travel is usually fine. Posters can be tailor-made and posted to venues in advance if needed. ---
