My name is Jim DiBattista and I am a solo/acoustic artist.
My song list contains over 750 cover songs from Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Springsteen, Mellencamp, Croce, Eagles, Buffett, Seger, Gordon Lightfoot, Cat Stevens, Harry Chapin, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Beatles, The Stones, David Bowie, Bread, CSN&Y and many more.
I truly love being an artist and work hard at my craft and continue to hone my song list as a sculptor polishes his work. On stage my motto is "Give It All U Got" which also happens to be the title of one of my albums I released.
Truly entertaining! A true artist, from covers to originals, listening to him is a thoroughly enjoyable evening!

Jim DiBattista is a full-time solo acoustic singer/songwriter. He has been a professional musician since the late 80’s.
He concentrates on his interpretation of the songs and artists who have influenced him and led him to where he is now artistically.
His cover repertoire consists of hundreds of songs by dozens of artists and he has hundreds of original songs, too.
He has jammed a few times with the late great Clarence Clemons of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, as well as having had the honor of performing some of Bruce’s own music to him while he was in a bar that he worked at (Bruce said he enjoyed it).
He truly loves being an artist and works hard at his craft and continues to hone his song list as a sculptor polishes his work.
