Jimmy Fastiggi at Kankakee Grille at Four Winds South Bend. About:
Jimmy is a singer/songwriter/guitarist originally from New York who started playing guitar at age 19 and immediately fell in love with the instrument. A self-taught musician, he began by teaching himself songs by the Beatles, Bob Dylan and acoustic music of the late 60’s and early 70’s.
Over the almost 50 years of playing, he has played in all kinds of bands including folk, bluegrass, rock’n’roll, blues and jazz. One of the most remarked upon aspects of his live shows is the variety of music he performs. He is just as comfortable singing a jazz standard from the great American song book as he is singing a contemporary country or pop tune. His set list includes songs from the late 1920’s right up to current artists like John Legend and Keith Urban.
Jimmy has been fortunate enough to have played with several well-known musicians including Bela Fleck whom he played with in the bluegrass band Wicker’s Creek back in New York in the 1970’s. Another Wicker’s Creek alumni, Ray Chesna, teaches Delta and country blues and performs in the Asheville area. Ray’s 2 CDs contain several of Jimmy’s compositions. He has 3 CDs of original music including “Baby It’s Cold Outside” which is the soundtrack to a small independent film of the same.
He has also had a song, he co-wrote with Nashville songwriter Donna Britton, picked up by an LA film company for possible use in TV or film.
Jimmy now lives in St. Joseph Michigan where he performs at many local venues including wineries, restaurants and casinos as well as private parties.
