Jimmi Ward has been rockin' the music scene in the SF Bay Area for years, playing with such well known acts as Meantime, Hell `n' Back, Lust, Agony Sweet, Pigs, Dammit Jim, RaiderHed, The Particles, Gator Alley Band, Hot For Teacher, and the Alameda All Stars.
Jimmi's musical roots run long and deep. His mother is a fantastic singer, and his grandfather helped form, and played the guitar for The Sons of the Pioneers. Jimmi realized his musical talent at the very early age of 5 while playing trumpet and piano, which he continued playing until he picked up a guitar at the age of 10; the rest is history. His musical influences include the likes of KISS, Rush, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Deep Purple, Steve Vai, Y&T, Miles Davis, Yngwie Malmsteen and Van Halen. His musical tastes span far and wide, across many musical oceans! Jimmi is now the full time bass player for the Terry Lauderdale Band and is now in a backup roll for the Gator Alley Band.
