With a rootsy pop-rock style reminiscent of Tom Petty, The Beatles, or even Elvis Costello, independent singer-songwriter Jim Pellinger has performed at colleges, clubs, and festivals from the upper midwest of the United States to Central America.
Along the way Jim has written songs for and appeared on Madison Square Garden TV’s “Yankees Scorecard” pregame show, and Fox Sports Net’s Minnesota Twins pregame show. Jim’s music caught the attention of the Twins, and Jim’s song Circle Me Bert was featured by the Twins in a 10,000 CD giveaway to fans attending a game. In 2011, Circle Me Bert was accepted into the permanent library at the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in Cooperstown, NY.
Jim’s latest realease is entitled Into The Blue. With song topics ranging from politics and religion (“god”) to life as a dog (“Roxygrrl”), Into The Blue covers a lot of ground. Life, death, love, politics and religion--it's all in there.
A true independent musician, Jim released Into The Blue on his own label, Door To Door Music, as he did with his previous releases, All Dressed Up And All Stressed Out (1996), Knives & Bleeding (1999). and Hello Hello (2002). Each release features songwriting that bears the mark of a variety of influences such as Lennon & McCartney, Bob Marley, Elvis Costello, Squeeze, even Hank Williams.
Jim's latest project is a new band, The Poptones, formed with drummer Mitch Griffin and bassist David Meier.
