Jim Spence has an easy laid back style on the guitar that has roots in the days of Chet Atkins, Peter, Paul and Mary and those that followed soon after, like James Taylor. His instrumental arrangements and interpretations of songs he grew up with are wonderful and refreshing. His original instrumental songs grow out of his love for the music of many of the great fingerstyle players such as Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed. His style is a bit like having him sit in your living room and share his love for music.  

Jim will play some songs you know, introduce you to some you may not have heard, play some original compositions, and perhaps share a story or two. Come join him for a wonderful evening sharing in the joy of music.
