Jim Gratza got his first guitar when he was 12 years old, and started up a garage band in the Chicago suburbs playing on weekends all through high school. Early influences include Gordon Lightfoot, Bob Dylan, The Byrds, Eric Clapton, Leonard Cohen, The Beatles, and any classic music in the 60’s and 70’s. After moving to the Valley in the 80’s, he’s played guitar in several local country, classic rock, and Christian bands. For the past ten years, he has play mostly solo at open mics and Arizona music festivals. His set includes mostly covers with a twist (favoring the 4 types of love ballads) with several originals also.
