Bio
2006 proved to be a tumultuous year for Jimmy Roman. With his band splitting and his fiance leaving him, songwriting was the only thing left for him to pour his heart into. Enter Vagabond’s Riches. Produced and recorded by Fidelity Entertainment Groups’ CR Pendleton (Relient K, John Reuben, Spoken, Jeff Anderson), the EP brings a refreshing sound to a dehydrated market of music. The lyrical content alone will make you realize what you’ve been missing in a song, heartfelt honesty.
It’s hard to believe that songs such as “Touch and Go” and “Notion of Trust” could sound so musically positive yet lyrically tenacious in it’s presentation of questions with love and trust. Jimmy Roman inspires the listener to be honest with themselves as well as those around them. “I believe that there is a lack of vulnerability in some music today”, says Jimmy. “I want my fans to question all the information that is thrown at them whether it be religious, political, or musical. Then I want them to realize behind all of these masks lies hope!”
Inspiration from relationships, social justice, and the search for “who we are,” is what fuels Jimmy Roman’s songwriting. If you’ve heard him perform live then you’ll notice his honesty as well as his musical talent. While many singer/songwriters have a hard time keeping pitch, Jimmy works hard at the quality of his vocals while maintaining passion in his performance. “Of course I want people to come back to my shows, so I feel it’s necessary to bring my best.“
Whether it’s with just a guitar and backtracks, or with a band, Jimmy Roman commands the attention of his audience. Forcing them to wrestle with internal questions but yet leaving them with a sense that the world’s going to be okay.
Drawing from influences such as Jars of Clay, Griffin House, and Matt Nathanson , Jimmy Roman has poised himself for a full- length record sure to turn heads and win over hearts. Jimmy Roman’s four song EP is slated for release on July 19th, and his full-length record will land in early January ’09. Both will be released on indie record label ECI Records (www.ecirecords.com).
