Welcome to music that lifts you up! My name is Jim Snedeker. I write and play the music that lifts you up – like your own personal elevator. I sing, and play guitar, piano, drums, bass, various brass, and keyboards, to midi-sequencing, programming, and leading worship. My 20s were spent touring with a contemporary Christian rock band, called “Daystar”. Some of my most notable educational accomplishments consist of participating in four summer camp programs at Interlochen National Music Camp, near Traverse City, Michigan. I had some great instructors for euphonium, trombone, and guitar. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Music Education from The Ohio State University. Over the last 50 years, I’ve played the following roles: songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, singer, and music educator.
