JIM PEARCE (PIANIST, COMPOSER)

Jim Pearce is the hardest working man in showbizness. With 478 gigs in 1999 and 433 in 2000 this guy is one busy musician. In 2002 he slowed the gig pace just a bit and turned his attention to writing and recording.

From concerts to festivals, weddings, clubs, nursing homes, and even one gorilla funeral at the zoo Jim will play for anything. Jim dropped out of college to play at an amusement park. When the season was over he found himself broke, with no heat and clueless.

Fortunately, he soon found a home with a road band and spent the next 6 years playing all over the southland with regional bands like Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs, The Catalinas, and Sugar Creek. Jim eventually planted his feet in Atlanta, Georgia where he has been playing piano constantly ever since.
