JIMKATA
Blurring the line between rock band and electronic act, Jimkata is onto an entirely new era on stage. Once again a quartet, the band has been proving that no songs from their extensive catalog are off limits. Described as “a hard hitting dance party with soaring guitar riffs and soul tickling lyrics,” Jimkata takes you on an emotional joyride before tucking you gently in to bed, still humming the words.
With a lifelong friendship at its core, friends since middle school Evan Friedell, Aaron Gorsch and Packy Lunn infuse Jimkata with an adventurous musical streak and relatable lyrical themes. Adding Cooper Casterline into the mix holding down the low end has allowed the band to stretch the music out in a live setting. Mixed in with the modern sensibilities and hard driven indie rock are influences drawn from the likes of Motown, singer-songwriters and even old country songs, where storytelling and a quick turn of phrase share priorities with melody and the beat.
On the heals of their newest studio album effort “Running In Place", released in September 2024, the band has once again exemplified why they’re the best at what they do, continuing to build a vibrant, grassroots fanbase all over the US.
