Jim McKaba: Featured Blues Virtuoso

Jim McKaba and The After Hours Band

Who is Jim McKaba?

Jim McKaba

Jim Mckaba brings his 30-year background in Blues and R&B together with a group of veteran musicians to lead his curent group, The After Hours Band. Jim's musical performance history dates back to the early 1970's. At that time, he experienced great opportunities to perform with fathers of the blues idiom including Muddy Waters, Eddie Taylor, Jimmy Rogers, Pinetop Perkins, Big Walter Horton, Fred Below, and many others. The influence of Jim's experience with these musicians guides his playing and arranging today. It also helped him develop the versatility that is often called upon when supporting other artists as a sideman or bandleader, and in leading his own bands on the piano or the Hammond organ.

Jim has performed on blues festivals, concert stages, and clubs for over 30 years, including Springing the Blues festivals in 1993, 1996, 2000, 2002, 2005, 2007, & 2009, the Philadelphia Riverfront Blues Festival 1993, the Amelia Island Blues Festival 2002, opening act for Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee in 1976, for Gatemouth Brown 2003 and many other memorable performances as both a sideman and bandleader. In 2002, Jim performed and recorded with 1940's blues great Crown Prince Waterford and co-produced the critically acclaimed CD All Over But The Shoutin'. In 2006, Jim and his band toured France and headlined the blues stage at the Rendezvous d l'Erdre festival in the city of Nantes. The band also released their second CD; The After Hours Band.
