âJimmy Dâ (Jimmy DePalma) rocks the house with his electrifying musical style showcasing a melting pot of Blues, R&B and Soul with a splash of Funk thrown in the mix! Jimmyâs powerhouse playing style drips with enthusiasm, intensity and confidence. His music is deep, honest and always smokinâ! After 35 years, Jimmyâs talent has enabled him to express lifeâs ups and downs with an original blues-feel.

Jimmyâs influences stem from his childhood in Pittsburgh where he, as other musicians, experienced the Ed Sullivan Show. Jimmy credits not only the Beatles but other artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Jr. Walker, James Brown, B.B. King, Roy Buchannon, Danny Gatton and ZZ Top as major influences in his style of guitar playing.

Jimmyâs high energy and amazing talent have been appreciated by Alabamaâs Jeff Cook, Sly Stone, Tino Gonzales, Room Full Of Blues Band and audiences from Harrisburg, PA to Moline, IL; from âSecretsâ in Ocean City, MD, to the âWobbly Barnâ in VT. In 1999, Jimmy contributed an original song, âOther Sideâ, for the âGreen Room Bluesâ CD.

Presently, the âJimmy Dâ Blues Band consists of the most impressive and talented musicians in the Central PA and Baltimore, MD areas.

Jimmy Dâs CD, âThis Is My Houseâ is now available. The CD contains original music written by Jimmy D. The first track, âWhite Boy Bluesâ begins the exciting musical journey which takes you through a New Orleans styled, âBiscuit Funkâ, a reggae-influenced, âNot Keepinâ â, a James Brown-ized, âKeep Yoâ Moneyâ, a bar-room tumble with âTakinâ Out the Trashâ, a soul-filled blues number, âRelease Deniseâ, and an original adaptation of Buddy Miles, âThem Changesâ. âThis Is My Houseâ is a CD full of surprises and exquisite talent both in composition and musicianship.

Donât be misled by Jimmy Dâs peach-smooth face and unassuming David Gilmore, accountant-like persona. Jimmy Dâs wide open throttle guitar playing, with tonal changes, immediately and forever will impress any audience.
