Jim Wells

Originally from Lake Isabella California, Jim has been rippin' it up with J.R. on various musical projects ever since high school, Jim also moved to Idaho in 1980 and immediately jumped into the local music scene playing rhythm guitar and singing with several not-so-popular top 40 cover bands around the Boise Valley during the infamous "hair band" era. On the weekends Jim could be seen hanging out at the local night clubs and jam sessions watching and studying the local "top shelf" guitarists, hoping to pick up some cool riffs in hopes of advancing his lead guitar aspirations. In the late 80's Jim once again teamed up with J.R. in the band that would eventually become J.R. and the Stingrays. Jim is also a huge fan of traditional rockabilly, Jump Swing, and big-band era music.
