Biography
Kentucky-based recording artist Jim Gleason is a musical omnivore whose interests range from rock and blues to jazz and swing to country and bluegrass. Those influences and more are plainly evident on his first original solo recording. The recently released Deconstruction Ahead includes the western swing standout The Hat, the Beatlesque Something Like Love, guitar showcase How Much Blues You Got? and the gypsy jazz-influenced 18 and Swinging.

He shares lead guitar duties in The Johnson Brothers Band, Kentucky’s “Original Rock ‘n Roll Repertory Orchestra.” He also plays stunt guitar with his wife Missy’s band The Bats, and has previously recorded with both groups as well as other regional artists. In addition, this summer he is a featured guitarist at Renfro Valley, “Kentucky’s Country Music Capital.”
