Come one, come all! Friday October 17th 2025 marks the 15th Anniversary of when Jim Byron changed their name to what it is today, stepping forward to a new life as a musician, singer-writer, and recording artist. Since then, they’ve released several dozen albums, mostly recorded in Minneapolis Minnesota.
Join Jim, Dr. Simon R. Calder, Hayley Anne (Ditch Pigeon), and a mystery guest (whose identity shall remain secret until the week of the show) at Minneapolis' Uptown VFW on that day at 6:30 PM for an evening of celebration and song presented by Alt-Folk Heroes in collaboration with Alt-Indie Legends.

It’s also the release party for Jim’s first studio recording which was produced in the late summer of 2010, “The Lost Sessions”. This was the first official Jim Byron album ever recorded but it’s only now being officially put out.
(There is also a late show that night - CITY OF ACID: Acidbat (live) • Jobot • Andy Fargo (live): https://www.facebook.com/share/1BHfKuFwiP/ - doors for which are 10pm)
