The opening chords showed that the boy is not simply a wunderkind but an exceptionally brilliant phenomenon in the world of Blues and Rock. His incredible guitar technique and his strong free-flowing vocal skills, along with his volcanic temperament, blew the audience away. -The Koktebel Resistance, UKRAINE - “Jimmy is the best natural singer I've ever heard" - Colin James - "Jimmy Bowskill was on the right side of the stage and Healey was in the middle. It was kind of like seeing Wayne Gretzky and Gordie Howe getting to play on the same line at once" - The Night Scrawler, The Toronto Sun “This boy has everything it takes. Oh Lord, no kidding, the voice he’s got and the way he plays, he’s already there. I’ve never seen a kid like this sing like this before. That’s the truth!” – Hubert Sumlin Jimmy Bowskill at the Yale in Vancouver With Willie G from ZZ Top With Jeff Healy Jimmy Bowskill (Sept. 16 1990) Guitarist / Singer / Songwriter Jimmy was dicovered playing guitar in front of Jeff Healey's Club in Toronto at age 11 and was invited to the stage that night for the first time by Healey.

He went on to record his 1st CD shortly after strongly supported by the Toronto Blues community. His second release a year later got the nod for a Juno nomination and Jimmy will be release his third recording produced by Jimmy and Peter Prilesnik on this tour of B.C.
