Jim Bartlett is an accomplished songwriter, musician, and performing artist who began playing piano at 8 years of age and the guitar at 10.  Jim formed his first live band, “The Psychedelic Sound“ while in high school, not long after the arrival of The Beatles in the US, and his attendance at their live concert in Indianapolis, IN in 1964.

Since then, Jim has appeared live on stage with various bands, performing original songs, as well as a wide range of covers in the rock, blues, country, folk, pop, and bluegrass genres.  He plays guitar, keyboard, mandolin, and harmonica, and performs both lead and backing vocals.

Jim has written dozens of original songs, and runs a small recording studio, where he has recorded, mastered and produced music for himself and other artists, including the recent release of an album for a keyboard player who’s been recording in Jim’s studio for the last few years.  Jim and his wife officially retired in 2023, which gives him plenty of time to enjoy listening to and playing live music.   Oh, and he's also an avid pickleball player.   Jim resides in Littleton, CO.
