Jimmy LaFave was born in Wills Point, Texas, a small town 30 miles east of Dallas. He attended high school in Stillwater, Oklahoma and moved to Austin in 1986. In 1988 he recorded his self produced tape, Highway Angels...Full Moon Rain, which won the Austin Chronicle Reader's Poll Tape of the Year Award. In 1992 Jimmy released a self produced CD, Austin Skyline, which drew international attention to his songwriting and vocal talents, and led to a publishing agreement with Polygram Music. Due to his growing popularity and radio play on more than 200 stations, Austin Skyline and its label, Bohemia Beat, received national distribution through the Rounder Record Group. His second album, Highway Trance was released in 1994 followed by his third CD, Buffalo Return to the Plains, in 1995. The grass roots demand and critical acclaim for Jimmy s music, which led to extensive touring in the United States and Europe, was recognized in 1996 when he was asked to tape a performance for the PBS musical series Austin City Limits, and was invited by Nora Guthrie to appear in Cleveland at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tribute to Woody Guthrie. In 2001 Jimmy released Texoma. The CD received some of the best press of his career, including reviews by the AP, VH-1, Billboard and Playboy. Jimmy serves on the Advisory Board for the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival, and has played it twelve straight years.
