Jim Bob

Jim Bob is one oil painting exhibition short of being Britains greatest living renaissance man. He had fourteen top 40 singles and four top ten albums with Carter USM, toured the world and headlined Glastonbury.

He's released twelve solo albums, written songs for Ian Dury and for a Barbican production of Mark Ravenhills Dick Whittington & His Cat. In 2010 he made his Edinburgh Fringe debut in the musical Gutted'. Jim is an author too. Six novels published and two memoirs

Right now Jim is focusing on music. His last two albums, Pop Up Jim Bob and Who Do We Hate Today were both top forty smashes, his Beach Ready Ep was Number 1 in both the Vinyl and Physical sales Singles charts, and when his manager Marc heard his latest album Thanks For Reaching Out, he sent Jim this message I bet this is how Tony Defries felt when Bowie sent him Ziggy Stardust. Jim Bob has called the album the third in a trilogy. That seems to suggest something new will follow it. So if you see him coming out of an art supplies shop carrying an easel and a large canvas, you know where hes going.
