Jumpin’ Jimmy Leroux : Singer/Guitar Player/Entertainer
Jimmy has been playing the Ottawa Area for over Twenty years, hosting “Open Mics”, playing solo gigs , Legions , Private Parties , Corporate events and Senior Residence Performances .
With a repertoire of over 500 songs, handling requests is always a favourite venture . Many of the songs are upbeat and up- tempo and Jimmy encourages his audience to get involved by singing a-long or playing tambourine. Sometimes he even gets a laugh or two when he tells the odd joke.. (Crickets?) .
Some of the artists that Jimmy covers include :
Beatles , Van Morrison , Garth Brookes , Bryan Adams , The Boss , Colin James, Elvis Presley , Vince Gill , Blue Rodeo , Green Day , Johnny Cash , REM , Tom Petty , Steve Earle , Keith Urban , Tragically Hip , Beach Boys , Steve Miller , Merle Haggard , George Jones , Great Big Sea , Jimmy Buffett , Frank Sinatra , Alan Jackson , Monkees , Joe Cocker ….
and many many more .
I'm very happy to announce that my new CD is now available ... Jumpin' Jimmy Leroux .." Hey Lonesome" . Eleven original tracks , recorded and performed at The Woodshed Studio, in Toronto . They are a collection of hurtin' country songs designed to make any dog howl . I had a ball recording it and I am so grateful and appreciative of everyone who helped make this CD possible . In particular , my beautiful wife Bev .
First Single : I didn't say . Hope you can check it out . Cheers .
