Biography
Jimmy Dormire is a guitarist,singer-songwriter from Hartland,MI.,a small town just North of Detroit.I feel very blessed to have grown up in such a wonderful musical evironment from "Motown" to "Rock and Roll" I was very inspired by my surroundings.Having relocated to the Nashville,TN.area in "1990" by way of Southern Florida I've been on a tour bus ever since,my suitcase stays packed.In"1995" I became lead guitarist for Atlantic recording artist's "Confederate Railroad". I have had a tremendous oppurtunity to play to crowd's in excess of 100,000 people and to millions throughout the world.The most special moments were the jams with The Charlie Daniels Band,Marshall Tucker and Dicky Betts.Though playing the supporting role behind other artist's I've never had to compromise my style or tones which is very fortunate for my souls sake as a guitarist.Being able to truly touch people is what music is all about.So after many years and miles under my belt this wisdom has lead me to "speak my own truth" as a guitarist with my own purpose...I have many influences in many styles of music but mainly a handful have left their imprint upon my soul.Those being the(Beatles,Jeff Beck,B.B.King,the Allman Brothers,John McLaughlin,Tony Rice,Pat Martino and John Coltrane).From a songwriters view (Van Morrison and Stevie Wonder) were huge inspirations...My new CD "PREMONITION" became a truly focused vision back in April 2006 when I began to cut my first tracks and hear them come to life.My sole purpose of this first release was to present a deeply soulful and heartfelt project with an underlying "message of peace".It displays a cross section of my playing and vocal style combined with spiritual elements that guide my focus.There are the instrumentals:the "Burning Sky"which is a Shakti or Indian influenced groove with with a haunting blues intro,writtten as an offerring to Mother Earth.There's "Notion's Bag" which is a funky and uplifting piece intended to be musical medicine.Freedom Train has more a Southern Rock feel and is totally about freedom,releasing yourself from a bad place to the good."As Above As Below"is also an offerring for Mother Earth, to give her respect as if heaven were here on earth.The piece entitled "Aishitemasu"means I love you in Japanese with a subliminal message of "all you need is love".I wrote this piece in Kyoto,Japan looking out my hotel window over this mystical city.The following songs convey a message of Peace,Love and Hope.A very deep piece entitled "Ashes and the Waterfall" is my anti-war statement about the voices of our ancestors and fallen war veterans that keep whispering in our head to heed the call for war. The last cut "Premonition"is a Delta blues inspired piece with breathing chord voicings that are intended to leave a haunting type spirit...This album in its entirety is a painting of my soul and spirit...I have totally "spoken my own truth" here...My purpose and future goal as a musician is to be as healing as I can be with a message of Peace...
