 Another awesome interview with Jim. Just some of the stuff they talked about:
|
 More than two and a half hours of Jim talking. Just to list a few topics:
He is a fascinating story teller. Here is an mp3. You can download it and listen to it. |
 Matt Wade, aka My Silent Bravery, intevewed Jimmy during one of his regular Instagram streaming sessons. Almost an hour long, it covered many topics, Jim's beginnings, influences, his work as an MD, his songwriting, his take on music reality shows.... Jim even got to sing a song! Here's the transcript as well. |
 Says Jimmy: While on tour last year in Boston, I stopped by Berklee College Of Music for a chat with the students and did a little interview. I had a great experience attending Berklee and am grateful for the foundation it gave me to move forward as a professional musician. Big thanks to Padriac Farma for the interview and for the great job cutting together this video. Hope you enjoy it! |

intro: New Jersey bred singer, songwriter, producer and instrumentalist Jim McGorman has played with a who's who in the music world including the New Radicals, Michelle Branch, Avril Lavigne, Cher, Paul Stanley and Weezer to name a few. The Berklee College of Music graduate is currently enjoying his second stint with the Goo Goo Dolls. Interesting like you will not believe it!!! Jimmy talks and hour and a half about his education at Berklee College of Music and his beginnings in LA; how he got into the music business and the bands and artists he played for over the years and the people he met; the music industry then and now; his career as professional musician and singer, songwriter and producer... How he actually survived in this cut-throat business for more than 20 years! Absolutely riveting stuff! The direct link to the podcast is here and if you can download the mp3 from sunfired.net. |
Interview - part 1 There's No Over You - acoustic Interview - part 2 Get What You Give - New Radicals cover Interview - part 3 Jim sat with Helen Leicht in the studio for about half an hour talking about his career as a professional musician and solo artist, his label, discussed the unavoidable subject of the sorry state of the music industry today etc. He is very eloquent and funny, as always. He also performed 2 songs. Take a listen - worth your while. Here is the WXPN 88.5 podcast, if you prefer that. Jim McGorman recorded live on the Leicht Lunch |
Interview - part 1 Interview - part 2 Jim talks about many things: X Factor, being a Musical Director for various artists, how he met his wife, what his music means to him and why he is at peace as an independent artist, how his latest song "Get It Out" came about and many other things (you know how Jim loves to talk). |
The podcast for ConciergeQ Conversations with Chantal Westerman. First of all, Chantal gives a glowing introduction to Jim. Then the interview - one of the best ones we have heard, read or seen: with a lot of interesting questions about food and travel; life on the road (the good sides and the bad ones) about Avril, Cher... and more! Jim's answers are VERY intersting as well. Amazing stuff. Concierge Interview |

Jim gives a few tips how to record guitar sound. Quite interesting
actually. The song at the beginning and the end is called "Everything

Audio. And it's bloody awesome. As the
write up says: | Check out the phone
interview - it's awesome. Jim talks about everything and anything,
he is very informative and funny. Or as the write up says: Jim McGorman is currently on tour as Avril Lavigne's guitarist in support of her latest record, Goodbye Lullaby. The multi-instrumentalist was also a part of the house band for both season's of the CBS show "Rockstar" (INXS & Supernova). He's toured with a variety of people, including Cher, Shakira, and Paul Stanley of Kiss. In addition, he also makes music of his own. Icon Fetch talks with the Philadelphia native about his multi-faceted career - how he got hooked up with Lavigne, helped put together a made for TV band, and manged to continue to be a much-sought after instrumentalist. He also shares some great stories of being on the road. No wonder he is our favourite musician! |
