Coming to the Point: Jim Boggia
*Bio: "Growing up an only child, Jim Boggia spent much of his time sitting in his room with his childhood friends -- a Kenner Close 'N Play Phonograph and an endless stream of 45s. After his father bought him his first guitar at age 5, Jim began a lifelong process of self-education, studying Pop and Rock's golden era ('65-'75). These early experiences remain at the core of Boggia's musical identity, and have had a strong influence on Jim's debut release 'Fidelity is the Enemy.' But before recording his own CD (or "record" as he refers to it), Boggia threw himself into a wide-ranging list of musical situations. Some of these include touring through the United States, Canada and Europe with Canadian songstress Amanda Marshall and recording with Juliana Hatfield ('Beautiful Creature') and Wood ('Songs from Stamford Hill') among others. He continues performing with quirky Pop Singer/Songwriter Jill Sobule on many of her East Coast dates. As a writer, he scored a #1 Billboard hit, penning 'Glory' with Andy Kravitz for CCM artist Jaci Velasquez. Locally, he continues to play with Ben Arnold and has joined forces with Ben, Joseph Parsons and Scott Bricklin to form a side project called '4 Way Street.'" -- from http://www.jimboggia.com Credits: Named "Artist of the New Millenium" by the Philadelphia Music Conference.
Is himself a local artist and fosters local talent, performing with Huffamoose (another Philly band) alums.
