Jimmy Bowskill has been blowing audiences away worldwide. From the Ukraine to Japan he's left them begging for more and doing his country proud!
Jimmy burst onto the scene on B.B.King's birthday of all times. They not only share the same birth date, but also the same laidback kindness, generosity, humbleness and respect for the music they play and the musicians who share the stage. Inspired by the late, great Robert Johnson, Jimmy taught himself to play and sing by interpreting by sight and sound but in his own natural style. At the tender age of 11, Jimmy was invited to join Jeff Healey onstage and has since become an international enigma. He has been selling out theatres, touring internationally and gaining a wide fan base. His music, though heavily blues influenced blurs the genres and captivates a young and new audience.
He has performed at many major festivals worldwide such as The Montreal International Jazz Festival, The Mont Tremblant Blues Festival, France's Blues Sur Seine and Bay Car Festivals, Ukraine's Koktebel Festival, Toronto's Downtown Jazz Festival, Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton and many more, including representing Canada at the World Exposition in Japan. Jimmy has been spotlighted on many national and regional television programs. Coverage on CTV's Open Mike with Mike Bullard, CTV National New's Success Story with Sandie Renaldo and CTV's Canada AM have all featured his rise in popularity and blues stardom. City TV's Breakfast Television also hosted the Jimmy Bowskill band as their musical guests, as well as The Toronto Show. Jimmy and his band performed on ZED TV, and are annual guests at CBC's Easter Seals Telethon. He was the musical guest on CBC's Bon Baisers De France and Musique Plus in Quebec. Jimmy has been featured in OWL Magazine and has been profiled by TV Ontario's "VOX" (Voice of Teens), YTV's Girls TV. CTV's Balance TV and TVO's Planet Parent and Studio Two. Jimmy was also featured on Cogeco Cable's A&E special, sharing the spotlight with local life altering celebrities. Jimmy's debut CD "Old Soul" was one of the top selling recordings for Festival Distribution, Canadianblues.ca and Iridescent Music. His most recent recording, Soap Bars & Dog Ears,
