Since its inception in, the band has garnered critical and commercial success throughout WNC, with favorable comparisons to Natalie Merchant, Jason Isbell, Mazzy Star, Mandolin Orange, The Civil Wars and more. With two full-length studio albums under their belt; 2015’s Can’t Win For Losing, and 2017’s Wilderness, the former of which, voted one of Mountain Xpress’ “Top 5 Dreamiest Local Album Releases of 2015” in Asheville, NC, the band continues to tour throughout North America.
When the sounds of John Mayer, Switchfoot, and the Allman Brothers collide with fierce guitar work and catchy songwriting, you start a band. That’s just what WNC heavy hitting guitarist and songwriter Jim Beaver has done with Jim Beaver Band. Solid melodies, groovy tunes and entertaining musicianship mark this quartet of players, and they’re just getting started!
