Hello everyone!

Thank you for your continued support and understanding while I try to update my website. WordPress is not very accessible for the blind and I am currently looking for some help to revamp the whole thing. Meanwhile my Facebook Page Jim Meck (musician) is the best place to see the most current activity.

I have some new venues, and some old ones. Please see my Schedule for more info. I am excited to be back at The Windmill Bistro in Sumner WA. I also recently started playing at Copper Coins Drinkery in Sumner and Oddfellas Pub and Eatery in Tacoma. I will be returning to Top Down Brewery in Sumner and I have been filling in a bit at El Gaucho in Tacoma. I am thrilled to be debuting at The Pub at Lake Tapps in Auburn in September and returning to Twisted Fork Saloon in Point Ruston (Tacoma) as well.

It was a fantastic summer including Rhubarb Days in Sumner and a trip back to the east coast playing in Washington D.C. and then visiting family in Pennsylvania, playing for my Mom’s birthday plus a gig with my old band, Jim Meck and the Guide Dogs. It was like old times.

Now fall is at the door and it is time to book your holiday events. I can do a whole evening of Christmas tunes from the classics of Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, and other favorites as well as fun tunes like Mr. Grinch and Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer. I am also well versed in the traditional Christmas carols like Silent Night O Little Town of Bethlehem and It Came upon the Midnight Clear plus more. Contact me at jim@jimmeck.com or (610) 750-4526.

I hope to see you out and about soon. Cheers!

Jim

After a little break, it’s time to get back to the music. Check my schedule for new dates at Wicked Pie Pizza in Puyallup, Myles Pizza Depot in Eatonville, Twisted Fork Saloon in Point Ruston Tacoma, and my debut on March 24th at A Street Pub in Auburn.

Note that Myles Pizza Depot is now serving beer, wine, and ciders. This is still an all-ages place with arcade fun available.

Enjoy Valentine’s Day at Wicked Pie Pizza with heart-shaped pizzas. Love songs will fill the evening including several originals.

I made a promise to myself as well as to people who have been requesting them to play lots more original songs. I am already enjoying the positive response.

I am also trying to get out when I can to hear my friends at their gigs and attend some jams, so I hope to see you out and about. We have an incredible music scene here in and around the Tacoma area.

Thanks to the Tacoma Light Trail for including not just one, but two of my original songs on the trail this year. One was “Dance All Night”, an upbeat tune encouraging the use of music to get through the PNW winter weather. The other one was “Along the Way”, the title track of my album that you can get at any of my gigs, but also listen to on Apple Music and Spodify. Unfortunately most musicians receive nothing from those streaming services, so if you listen to local musicians through those companies, consider a kind tip at a gig or send some love through PayPal or Venmo. If interested, you can throw some “bread in my jar” by using PayPal.me/JamesMeck956 or www.venmo.com/Jim-Meck at any time. Thank you for those who have already done so.

That’s it for now. Hope to see you soon. Cheers!

Elton John is in Tacoma October 16 & 17 and I will be playing at El Gaucho Tacoma before each concert. I will be singing and playing Sir Elton’s tunes at the grand piano from 5-8. Elton’s gig starts at 8pm so stop in before or instead of the big show.

October 21 & 22 will find me at Wicked Pie Pizza in Puyallup, WA from 6-9. I am booked there through the end of the year first and third weekends, both Friday and Saturday.

Twisted Fork Saloon in Rusten, WA is a new venue for me and was a blast when I played there in September. If you are in the area, drop by this family friendly restaurant on 11/3, 12/1, and 01/5/2023 from 6:30-8:30.

Book your holiday party NOW! Dates are disappearing quickly. Find and LIKE my Facebook page Jim Meck (musician) www.facebook.com/JimMeckMusician for most recent updates.
