Cafe Show

Howdy I’m Cisco Jim. I do Western Music! By this I mean lots of smooth vocals, words with meaning, and melodies that people enjoy hearing time and again. Stylistically, my show is Western, Folk, Swing, Jazz, Folk Rock, & lots of humor. The show includes traditional trail songs, buckaroo ballads, Western B-Movie theme songs, and my own originals. My music is influenced by Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Sons of the Pioneers, Marty Robins, Dave Stamey, Don Edwards, as well as The Beatles, Eagles, Townes Van Sandt, Neil Young, and many others. I am a soloist, which means you are paying for only one musician. The music is acoustic, using an old style microphone. My shows are energetic and pure escapism! Let me transport your audience to another time and place.
