Jim is a long-time Taos resident and is a native New Mexican, born in Las Cruces. Jim's powerful rhythmic and percussive playing provide the pulse for The Rifters' energetic acoustic rhythms. He has played his Fender bass from Alaska to Manhattan and many places in between, from the mountain bars to the big festival stages with touring national acts. Jim holds down many of the high harmony vocals in the Rifters' rich vocal arrangements, and with the release of The Great River has begun to stretch out into some lead vocals.
