Jimmy Bowen: Musician Blending Bluegrass, Rockabilly, & Americana

Send us a text


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.
