Luke Whittaker was born out of time and has tapped into the spirit of Bocephus, Waylon Jennings and a gang of renegades from a time gone by. Luke's lyrics deal with demons, desperation and hope. Settled in the fertile soil of Virginia, has hard drawn from the well of observation of those who have struggled in life including his own obstacles. Luke has found his gift. He can lead you through an old Smokey bar all the way through to the throne of God in roughly three minutes. I suggest you go along for the ride."

-- Grammy winning Nashville producer Ronnie Brookshire

Jimothy is a multi-genre band based around the solo work of singer and guitarist Jim Bohon based in the New River Valley region of Virginia. Jim is a multi-instrumentalist, and performed all instrumentation and vocals on the band's debut album "Never In A Million Years," before fleshing out a full band when the album proved to be popular among local audiences. Jimothy love what they do, and it shines through in their performance, no matter the event or venue.
