Jimmy is a native of the south. Born and raised in Fayetteville, NC, his musical
roots stem from the church and gospel music. His father was a Baptist minister
and his mother a school teacher. Both were singers and loved to sing in church.
Jimmy's interest in music developed from his desire to play the guitar and at
thirteen decided to learn to play. At age seventeen he started his own gospel
group and continued to pursue music when in 1982 decided to move to
Nashville where just one year later landed his first full time job singing in a
Quartet performing in a small theatre on music row in Nashville and touring.
That group known as the Tennessee Valley Boys moved to Branson in 1985
and began performing. In 1988 the Tennessee Valley Boys changed their
name to the Branson Brothers landed a job at Silver Dollar City Theme park in
their outdoor amphitheatre headlining the Echo Hollow Show. In 1991 The
Branson Brothers signed a recording contract with Warner Brothers Records
and released their first album, called “Heartmender”. In 1994 the group
disbanded, and Jimmy started the group Pierce Arrow along with partner Dan
Britton.
Jimmy performed at the Ozark Mountain Hoedown as a solo artist and later
founded the group New South at the "Grand Jubilee" show. Most recently
Jimmy revived the Branson Brothers and is currently producing and performing
in the Branson Brothers Show at the God and Country Theater
