Jemini Venture

Born and raised in the shadow of the iconic Louisiana Hayride, Jim paid his musical dues in the honky-tonks and gritty blues clubs from Shreveport to Baton Rouge.  Returning to his more rural roots and adding the mandolin to his repertoire, his instrumental stylings have been shaped by a variety of musicians ranging from Jethro Burns to Jimi Hendrix. Influenced from an early age by many types of music including Texas Blues, Country, Rock 'n' Roll, and of course, given the proximity to New Orleans, Jazz.  All told, Jim brings an eclectic background of experiences to the sound that is Jemini Venture.
