   Chattanooga, Tennessee's long lost musical native son, Jim Ramsey, has   
   embarked on an effort to jump-start his performance career by re-releasing his   
   visionary progressive folk rock album, On the Dying Breath of Wisdom   
   (originally released in 2012), and    
   launching a new website, JimRamseyMusic.com.   
      
   Jim, a Southern bard who struggled to market his songs in the 80's and   
   90's--before putting his efforts on hold to become a mental health   
   counselor--is once again taking to the stage with his signature romantic,   
   Celtic-tinged power ballads which    
   chronicle his coming of age in Southern Appalachia.   
      
   Jim will be performing at the next Whole Foods Open Mic Night on December 3rd,   
   and hopes to be included in the next "The Floor is Yours" lineup at the   
   Barking Legs Theater on December 4th. Jim's optimism is buoyed by the recent   
   founding of SoundCorps, a    
   nonprofit organization dedicated to building Chattanooga's music economy, as   
   well asby The Pulse's November 5th issue heralding the city's "music   
   revolution."   
      
   A classically-trained brass and woodwind player, Jim was influenced by British   
   folk and progressive rock artists (Al Stewart, Strawbs, Sandy Denny, Yes,   
   Renaissance, Fairport Convention, Alan Parsons Project), and began writing   
   songs in his teens. In the    
   1980's he taught himself to play guitar and began performing in small venues.   
   Jim recorded his album between the years 1997-2000, but spent the better part   
   of 2007-2011 just trying to survive the Recession, and in 2013 founded an   
   interfaith ministry,    
   Crossvine Church.   
      
   While Jim has been absent from the live performance scene for some time, he's   
   back and better than ever with 15 years' worth of new material to share. He is   
   currently seeking regional acoustic solo gigs and preparing to record his   
   second album.
