A little about Jim Savarino-
Born and raised in West Virginia, Jim has developed an acoustic style rooted firmly in Appalachian music, with uplifting, poetic lyrics. He began writing in 1989 in California after a hitch in the Marine Corps and a career in physics. Jim’s influences include Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and John Denver. Jim’s fans range from the very old to the very young – from the late Bob DeWitt, longtime friend and sometime housemate of Woody Guthrie, to toddlers who gather at the foot of the stage during performances. Jim’s songwriting is also wide ranging, though instantly recognizable. His songs include poetic descriptions of the natural beauty of Appalachia, with a viewpoint of optimism and hope.
