Jim Perkins

Jim Perkins always loved to sing and wherever there was music was where he had to be. He began playing guitar and writing songs in college and that's when the music bug bit him. He was consumed by an overwhelming yearning to perform, no matter how large or small the crowd, from friends to complete strangers. (Now some of those strangers have become good friends.he even married one.)
Jim started booking shows in 2001 at coffee shops in his hometown and in the southeast. He released his debut album, Maker of Dreams, in 2002 before traveling the U.S. and Canada as a member of the North American Mission Board's World Changers group. Jim gained a loyal audience in Augusta and played over 220 shows in 2006.
He's had the opportunity to share the stage with Chris Barron (of the Spin Doctors), Sam Thacker, Jennifer Daniels, Angie Aparo, Ken Block & Drew Copeland of Sister Hazel, Nashville Star winner Chris Young, and Doug Jones of Cravin' Melon, to name a few.
His singing and songwriting is some of the best in acoustic music today. He easily and gracefully moves from Folk to Jazz to Blues without missing a beat. His lyrics are heartfelt, authentic tales of everyday life that can't be expressed in any other way. Many have compared his work to popular artists such as Ray LaMontagne, Edwin McCain, Marc Broussard, Emerson Hart and Stephen Curtis Chapman.
Jim Perkins currently resides in Augusta, GA
His songs are "about living life through different phases of growth that I think everybody goes through at one point or another. Sometimes music is the only way to express real emotions."
