Jimmi Carr Band
Jimmi Carr is a singer/songwriter and electronic music producer from the Blue Mountains in New South Wales, Australia. He has released 6 albums and an EP under his own name, and two albums with his electronic/rock fusion band Innamech. The albums have been released by Shoestring Records, Vitamin Records, and most recently through his own label, Actual Devil Records, distributed by MGM.
Jimmi’s music is both original and accessible. He draws on a wide range of influences that move through Folk, Blues, Alt country and Rock. His music is rootsy and lyrical, often with a funk/rock edge. It could be described as somewhere between Ray Lamontagne, Wilco and Beck.
As a teenager, Jimmi played in a funk/metal fusion outfit Tang, which toured extensively, playing major festivals and supporting bands such as D.I.G. Since then, Jimmi has played his own music solo and in acoustic and electric bands. He has gigged constantly, playing on bills with acts including XAVIER RUDD, JEFF LANG, LIOR, ADALITA, DOC NEESON and HERMITUDE.
Jimmi’s music has received extensive airplay, including his recent single “Free Right Now” on Triple J. His releases have been featured as album of the week on ABC North coast NSW and ABC North QLD and have had regular airplay on other ABC stations and Community radio all over the country including FBI in Sydney, ZZZ in Brisbane and PBS in Melbourne.
All the albums have received excellent reviews. Here’s what some critics have had to say:
“[Free Right Now] brought a real smile to my face and made my morning as I put this on repeat. The way this song saunters along is fantastic. Rhythmically so exciting and fun the whole thing comes together so masterfully. Bravo!” – 4.5 stars. – Nkechi Anele, Triple J’s Roots ‘n’ All (2019)
“It’s comforting to know that there are still some artists taking their craft from the front porch to the studio with such passion and sincerity” – Beat magazine
“Jimmi Carr is the real deal. He plays hard, sings with intensity and writes with passion. Give him a listen, you’ll wonder why it’s taken you so long.” – FBI Radio
