We hired Mister Jim for our daughter's celebration of life. Music was a big part of our brief time together with our daughter, and I'm so glad we entrusted him to help make our vision a reality. His patience and easy-going nature were cherries on top of his true talent. With a guitar and ukulele, he performed a list of songs, added music to two short songs I wrote, and helped facilitate a singalong of "You Are My Sunshine" with our guests. We highly recommend Mister Jim.

If you're looking for a musician who can captivate and entertain children, look no further than Mister Jim. Mister Jim recently performed at a children's easter event, and he was simply amazing! He engaged the children from the moment he started playing, and he had everyone singing and dancing along to the music.
What really stood out was Mister Jim's ability to connect with the children. He took the time to interact with each child, making them feel special and included. The children were all smiles and laughter, and it was clear that they were having a blast.
Not only was Mister Jim fantastic with the children, but he was also an incredible musician. His guitar playing was top-notch, and he had a great selection of songs that both kids and adults could enjoy.
Overall, I would highly recommend Mister Jim to anyone looking for a talented musician who can entertain and engage children. He made our event so much fun, and we can't wait to have him back again!

Response from Mister Jim:
Hi Angelica! Wow! Thank you so much for your wonderful review of the Mister Jim Easter Show at Gateway Mall. I enjoyed working with you and the young families very much. And the dancing fairies were a phenomenal addition! I look forward to serving you and the community again in the near future. Best wishes!
Mister Jim
I've watched Mr. Jim at both children's concerts and for older residents at my mother's care facility. He is generous, uplifting and kind and his music is always on purpose and exciting. He also created a custom song for our wedding which left us in tears. After he interviewed us, he wrote special lyrics and a melody "just for us" which we play every day to remember our love for each other -and Mr. Jim!
He is the obvious choice for clean, fun music for event and all ages.

Mister Jim has brought his special music about love and friendship to our school classroom for several years. Our pre k and Kindergartners adore him and sing along to his fun and contagious music. He brings joy to everyone including parents, teachers and senior citizens. Ou5r class visits one of our local senior living centers and everyone looks forward to listening to Mister Jim and watching the children's bright and happy faces while they sing and interact with him and each other. He is happy, kind, dependable and very talented. Wherever he goes he leaves behind a trail of smiles and happy children!

Mister Jim is absolutely brilliant with young children! His concert was filled with creativity and an abundance of giggling little ones - dancing, clapping and singing along. It's obvious Mister Jim is a well seasoned performer!
