Kimberly Reed Photography

i had the great pleasure of meeting jimbo jackson on saturday night as he was recording a live session at a Pittsburgh recording studio. everything about jimbo is big- his presence, his personality, and his music. he first started playing a year ago at local open mic nights- at which time he had only two songs in his repetoire! since then he’s been busy playing more venues, learning more songs, and writing his own music. check out his myspace page - he wrote all of the songs on there. jimbo has a style all his own- it’s kind of a folky, funky, bluesy mix. his song ‘incredible’ is my fave. he was such a joy to photograph; so expressive and his laugh takes over the whole room! i’m definitely looking forward to working with jimbo again. here are a few shots i got of him as he was playing:
