Country/American Roots Concert
Â
Arizona singer-songwriter Jim Bachmann creates music that is a dose of American roots music, deftly blended with traditional country, honky tonk and blues. Echoing the Sonoran Desert and the nearby border, he mixes in Mexican influences for a distinct Southwestern sound yet remains true to country music tradition. His mellow, easy voice imparts wise lyrics that hint at an honest living, autobiographical nuance and a sly sense of humor.Â
