Bad Mood Zeus drew national attention opening up for such legends as Bob Dylan and Carlos Santana. His next and current group, Superunloader, has won the San Diego Music Award's Best Rock Album twice. This earned them opening slots for Gregg Allman, Primus, Deep Purple, and Fishbone. Jimmy's solo acoustic performances have generated a cult-like following. With his mixture of unique originals and classic rock and blues interpretations he's recently opened up for Eric Johnson and released the gritty, soulful solo CD "Fried Up."
