- **Event Description**: Jim Messina is an undisputed expert in the fine art of making hit music. His legacy of genius spans five decades, three super-groups, a vibrant solo career and scores of producing and engineering credits.

While producing for Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Buffalo Springfield, Messina ultimately joined the band as its bass player. When “the Springfield” disbanded in 1968, Jim and fellow bandmate Richie Furay formed Poco. With Jim on lead guitar, Poco defined a new musical genre, country rock. After three successful albums, Jim was ready for a change and left to return to his passion for producing music.

In November 1970, Columbia Records asked Jim to work with an unknown Kenny Loggins. While helping Kenny get ready for a record and touring, the two discovered that they worked well together. Then, Jim agreed to sit in on Kenny’s first album. Kenny Loggins with Jim Messina Sittin’ In was released in November of 1971 and an accidental duo was formed.

Over the next seven years, Loggins & Messina released eight hit albums and had scores of hit songs. The duo sold over 16 million albums, becoming one of rock’s most successful recording duos ever. However, it was time for the duo to go their separate ways.

He embarked on a series of celebrated solo acoustic tours. Then, Jim formed a band of acclaimed musicians who played with him at various points in his career. His latest release, 2016’s In the Groove, includes selected hits from all three of Jim’s previous bands. Also included are several of his solo works.

Touring the country and playing sold-out shows, Jim says that he’s enjoying discovering who he is, where he’s been, and, most significantly, where he’s going.
