Jim Kennedy has been playing live music in Cincinnati, Ohio since 2004.  He has played drums or guitar in various local bands, but is best known for singing and playing guitar as a solo musician.  Using a variety of live loops and other effects on the guitar, Jim creates a unique sound that elevates his playing beyond what you might expect from a solo act on acoustic guitar.  His work is influenced by a wide variety of artists spanning several different music genres, which allows him to create a different setlist appropriate for every venue, event, and crowd.
