An Evening with Jim Boggia February 18, 2012

Jim Boggia is a true believer and pop craftsman who is closely acquainted with music’s capacity for transcendent uplift. His songs get the balance right between devastating beauty and sadness, and the big fat joke that is life. Born blind in one eye and with limited vision in the other, Boggia grew up an only child with an acutely developed ear for music. His early fascination for such iconoclastic pop classics as the Kinks’ Village Green Preservation Society, Nilsson Sings Newman and Stevie Wonder’s Innervisons helped to inform an aesthetic sensibility that would push him to create album-length listening “experiences” on his own releases.

"Once in a great while the mind boggles at the imagination of some artists. In regards to Jim Boggia, that is definitely the case. He never ceases to amaze with his wit and charm - both on stage on and CD. His first album - 'Fidelity is the Enemy' is a collection of 'Yester-Pop' tunes that must be heard to be appreciated since no words will do it justice.

From the dazzling hit single 'Several Thousand' to the Rock/R&B mix of "Toy Boat" to the soul bearing 'Peter Pan' to the infectious 'Bubblegum 45's', this album is one that will live forever in the hearts of music lovers everywhere…Jim Boggia is absolutely brilliant!"
