Jim Basnight

JULY 4, 2002 FROM 11:30 AM TO 12:30 PM

ON THE MARINE PARK STAGE  

“The King of Pop for the Northwest may very well be Jim Basnight." The Montana Kaimin 2002  

 “Jim Basnight has certainly covered a whole lot of ground over the past 20 years, creating a body of work dripping with quality and excitement. Unlike most performers, he can’t be stereotyped, as each of his records offers something new and different." Rock Beat International, April 2000  

“Uniformly fun rootsy, power pop music…for the most part working the same territory as some of the great power pop bands of the mid 80's. Jangly, with a hint of psych and roots twang…a consistent band." Shredding Paper 2002  

“Strong melodies, fun lyrics, and bright, sunny arrangements. ” Lexicon, 1999

 “Basnight’s an under-recognized figure in local rock circles who deserves credit not only for his resilience but for his continuing musical accomplishments.” Seattle Weekly 1999

The Jim Basnight Band members have extensive and unique musical backgrounds.  These musicians combine influences from jazz, blues, and hillbilly in an acoustic rock center.  Basnight’s career has received acclaim from critics all over the world, starting with The Moberly’s in the ‘80s up to The Rockingham’s in the ‘90s, and solo throughout.  His music has been released in the United States and Canada, as well as Germany, Spain, France, Scandinavia, Australia and Japan.  Publications such as The Rolling Stone Record Guide, The LA Times, the LA Weekly, and Billboard have praised his talent.  Jim will be playing solo at the Freedom Fair performance.

Seattle-New York-Los Angeles: Jim Basnight and The Moberlys

"Fans of the Moberlys who are unfamiliar with this material are in for a big surprise. Fans of timeless rock are in for perhaps the bigger treat." George Makovic, Rock Beat International, Winter 2001/2002

 "A collection of mostly unreleased studio sessions from the 1980's proves that Basnight's lack of recorded success was largely a matter of record company ignorance." J.R. Higgins, January 2002 Backfire  

"Overall, the band shows itself surprisingly adept at wrapping a number of different styles around its no-nonsense core." Rock Beat International, Winter 2001/2002
