Details:
If you can imagine Bob Dylan inviting Glenn Phillips, Steve Earle, Chris Isaak and the Wallflowers over for enchiladas, imported beer and social debate then you have a good grasp on the direction The Jim Halfpenny Band is taking with their music. Folk/Roots meets Alternate Adult/Pop/Rock. Sometimes gritty. Sometimes sweet. At times humorous. Other times stingingly close to the heart. The emphasis is always on good, solid songwriting and generating an original atmosphere around a familiar sound. They are earthy, yet polished.

The band is led by singer/guitarist Jim Halfpenny. Jim is a multi-published BMI songwriter and a successful film composer with over 20 feature films to his credit. Jim escaped Los Angeles in 2002 and relocated to the Hill Country just southwest of Austin, Texas. The bandâs lock-tight rhythm section is made up of Brandon Storms on drums and bassist Mark Kellogg. Brandon and Jim got the project going in July of 2005 when they first got together to work out some arrangements for some of the songs Jim had been performing as a solo artist and in other bands around Austin and Central Texas. Mark and Jim are childhood friends who have played and recorded in various bands together since their days in high school. When performing live the trio is often joined on stage by a tasteful variety of talented musicians from the prodigious Austin area talent pool.

Jim and his band have spent the first three months of 2006 putting the final touches to their first CD. All the recording was tracked in their own facility, Back Forty Studios, in the Austin Hill Country. The mix was done at Wire Recording in Austin by Stuart Sullivan who has worked for such artists as Shawn Colvin, James McMurtry, Robert Earl Keen and Sublime. A number of his mixes have earned platinum records. While working with Jim and the band on their project Sullivan made this comment about their sound, âThe music is like a nice warm towelâ¦you just want to wrap yourself all up in it.â

Currently The Jim Halfpenny Band is playing locally and regionally to promote the May â06 release of their debut CD, entitled First Things First, which was released on their own independent label, Strong Domino Records.
