Jim Boggia at World Cafe Live

Jim Boggia joins us for a Free At Noon Show on Friday, August 29 from World Cafe Live. A co-production of WXPN and NPR Music.

Jim BoggiaXPN Artist To Watch Jim Boggia would spend hours in his room, as a child, listening to records like The Kinks and Stevie Wonder, trying to emulate the sounds on his guitar. Born legally blind in his left eye and the sight in his right eye receding over the years, his ears have become a powerful tool. Jim started making a dent in the local music scene after his stint in Philadelphia as a customer service representative for a studio equipment company. After meeting at an open mic and regrouping in 2001, the Michigan native recorded a CD with fellow Philly stars Scott Bricklin, Joseph Parsons and Ben Arnold as the group 4 Way Street. Other collaborations include Aimee Mann, Juliana Hatfield and Bernadette Peters. Jim's most recent CD Misadventures in Stereo was released this month.
