Jimbo Bondurant
Jimbo is a retired taxidermist/banker with a love for music and guitars. His passion began around age 10 when he talked his mom into buying him his first guitar. He and four of his buddies had a band called “Herd” that played for fraternity parties in Louisville and Bowling Green, KY while he was in high school and college. His musical inspiration comes from such artists as Jim Croce, The Eagles, Chris Stapleton and Dickey Betts from the Allman Brothers Band. Jim plays cover songs and likes to dabble in songwriting.
Horns, harmonies and homegrown instruments combined with an energetic and roots rich festival set makes Ghost Town Blues Band one of the “must see live bands on the festival scene today.” Both Andrew McNeill behind the drums and Matt Karner on the bass guitar are a punishing rhythm section behind multi-instrumentalist/frontman Matt Isbell with raunchy cigar box guitar licks and raspy “Dr. John-like, whiskey and gravel-soaked vocals.” With the addition of Trombonist Suavo Jones, Cedric Taylor on B3 and Taylor Orr on lead guitar, the grooves go from fresh to funky as the band gains more notoriety in the blues festival and jam circuit. Ghost Town Blues Band has performed all across US and Canada at over 100+ festivals and will perform more than a half-dozen international tours in Canada and Europe in 2019.
