Jim’s side projects:
EMPIRE SOUND – A NEW SIDE PROJECT FEATURING AL AND JIM
Announcing the debut of Empire Sound: a brand new project featuring Al Schnier (guitar), Jim Loughlin (bass), Sam Kininger (sax), Kirk Juhas (keys), & Corey Colmey (drums). Their instrumental, progressive funk rock is heavy on melodies & deep grooves. Though the new supergroup, featuring members of moe., soulive, & okemah has a classic sound that harkens back to classic vinyl of the ’60s & ’70s, there is an edge to it that would not be out of place on a modern day soundtrack.
The band will be performing for the first time, on October 20th @ The Electric Company in Utica, NY
Jim uses:
Pro-Mark Sticks and Mallets
Evans Heads
Alternate Mode/Kat
Longo Drums
Peterson Tuners
