Bio:
Jim Page was named by Seattle Metropolitan Magazine as “One Of The 50 Most Influential Musicians In Seattle History.” Having recorded 21 albums over the course of a 40-plus year career and written a mountain of songs, Page is a force to be reckoned with. Renowned lyricist Robert Hunter says, “If Jim Page ain’t the bastard son of Woody Guthrie - I’m T-Bone Walker”. “I'm a longtime admirer.” – Bonnie Raitt. The late Utah Phillips said it best, “If you’re ever going to get the message, this is the messenger to get it from.”


Originally a California native, Jim Page has called Seattle and the Pacific Northwest “home” since 1971. Jim has shared the stage with the likes of Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, Dan Bern, Michelle Shocked, Leftover Salmon, Mickey Hart, J.J. Cale, Robert Hunter, Chuck Brodsky, and John Hammond, to name a few. Jim's songs have been covered by The Doobie Brothers, Christy Moore, Dick Gaughan, Joanne Rand, Michael Hedges, Leftover Salmon and Roy Bailey, and more. He has toured in 13 countries including the US, Canada, Ireland, the UK, most of northern Europe, and Taiwan.
