A bluegrass, Texas Dirt country entertainer and rockabilly singer joins the show. We begin by hearing about at age nine he played a biker bar that had chicken wire and fencing-picture The Blues Brothers Movie. The artists Jimmy looked up to as a young kid and attending The Citadel which is a military college. Jimmy explains how his accounting and law background from college is still being used today in which other artists go to him for advice. 

He is a true fan of bluegrass music, but has he always been a fan of country music? A great background story behind the beginning of his tv show, Jimmy Bowen & Friends. His agent got him into acting, which he does enjoy, and explains the type of roles he seems to always get cast for. Playing at The White House and Smithsonian that included getting frisked by a bunny! 

The meaning and story of his new single, “I Ain’t Gonna Live Like That” and the name of the song coming in April/March of 2024. Jimmy loves the program-Christmas 4 Kids. He tells how he got involved, what it is, and a couple of heart touching stories that are a must hear. 

Jimmy tells us what it means to him to still be part of the music industry after all these years and to feel honored to be inducted in certain hall of fame’s. The challenge of working with the artists on their music but not changing them. His life motto: Improvise, Adapt, Adjust, & Overcome.
