RockerMike and Rob Presents: Jim Basnight
RockerMike and Rob Presents: Jim Basnight\n\nJim Basnight started recording solo and with the Moberlys in the late 70's and led a pre-grunge original rock and roll scene in his native Seattle, before relocating to NYC in 1980. He\u2019s been working live and releasing records ever since.\n\xa0\nArmed in NY with his first album "The Moberlys" (on Seattle's Safety First Label), he received critical acclaim in NY from among others Trouser Press, New York Rocker and Rolling Stone Record Guide. He reformed the Moberlys and worked with various east coast musicians and producers before returning to Seattle in 1984 where he found a more fertile ground to carve out a rock and roll living.\n\xa0\nIn 1985 Basnight moved to LA, CA with a third version of the Moberlys on the heels of his second album "Sexteen" on the Lolita label (France). In LA the Moberlys recorded with REM's Peter Buck for EMI-America Records and several other noted producers.\n\xa0\n\nAfter working as a sports website journalist with the Seattle Times, Yahoo and ESPN from 2005-11 to support a new family while still gigging the region, Basnight became a managing partner in a research project on blues icon "Sonny Boy Williamson" (Alex Miller) in 2012.\n\xa0\nJim released the CD album "Introducing Jim Basnight" in 2012 on Precedent and continued his "Sonny Boy" research and shows. In 2019 Basnight released "Not Changing," which received a strong response from indie radio, specialty shows and widely heard podcasts, as well as notable reviews from around the globe.\n\xa0\nJim's new release is "Jokers, Idols and Misfits" on Precedent (November 2020 CD) and on Dangerhouse Skylab (August 2021 LP) and has expanded on the momentum of "Not Changing." Since the release of \u201cJokers, Idols and Misfits,\u201d Basnight has released, for download and streaming only; \u201cSeattle-NY-LA\u201d (April 2021), \u201cMakin\u2019 Bacon\u201d (August 2021) and \u201cPop Top\u201d (March 2022), all three brand new to online platforms.\n\xa0\nJim has appeared with acts such as the Ramones, the Police, the Romantics, the Band and Billy Idol and has shared stages with original members of Blondie, Guns and Roses, Heart, New York Dolls, Paul Revere and the Raiders, Janes Addiction, REM, Nirvana and Pearl Jam.\n\xa0\nIn late 2020 Jim placed all 138 of his published compositions and co-written songs with Wixen Music in LA, CA. Basnight is represented by the European 4W1 Agency. Jim\u2019s biography on Miller is scheduled to be published in 2022. Basnight was nominated in January 2022, in the Best Male Artist Category for a 2021 Radio-WIGWAM Online Music Award. In April 2022, Jim\u2019s track \u201cStop The Words\u201d was chosen \u201cCoolest Song In The World,\u201d by Little Steven\u2019s Underground Garage (Sirius XM).\nContact Jim Basnight at: 20736 NE Puget Street, Indianola, WA 98342, (206) 660-2471, jimbasnight57@hotmail.com https://jimbasnightmusic.com/ Facebook and Twitter\n\nhttps://jimbasnightmusic.com/\n\nhttps://twitter.com/jimbasnight?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\n\nhttps://m.facebook.com/jim.basnight.7\n\nhttps://powerpopaholicproductions.bandcamp.com/album/not-changing\n\nhttps://roundmusic.com/jim-basnight/\n\nPlease follow us on Youtube,Facebook,Instagram,Twitter,Patreon and at www.gettinglumpedup.com\n\nhttps://linktr.ee/RobRossi\n\nGet your T-shirt at https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/gettinglumpedup\nAnd \nhttps://www.bonfire.com/store/getting-lumped-up/\nSubscribe to the channel and hit the like button \nThis episode is sponsored by \xb7 Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rob-rossi/support \n\nhttps://www.patreon.com/Gettinglumpedup\n\n@JimBasnight @music @musician #songs #music #Rocknroll
