Vermont resident Jim Gilmour began writing songs in earnest in 1998. After twenty years of supporting other artists as producer, recording/live sound engineer, and side musician Jim finally recorded a solo CD in 2003.

His lyrics, sometimes veiled, sometimes chillingly frank are composed from the everyday subjects of life; the temptations of addiction, love and love lost, and the power of connection, all while celebrating the mystery of life.

In addition to his solo career Jim continues to produce and engineer CDs for independent artists. He is also a bassist and backing vocalist for many performing acts on the road and in the studio.

Jim Gilmour has contributed a track to the upcoming benefit CD "TOO MANY YEARS: A Benefit for Clear Path International". Clear Path International works to assist victims of accidents involving explosive remnants of war in Vietnam.
