Jimmy Wayne To Perform At Lake Winnepesaukah May 31

Country music sensation Jimmy Wayne will perform at Lake Winnepesaukah’s Jukebox Junction Stage on Sunday, May 31, with shows at 3:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.

You can tell a lot about a person by the things you find on their refridgerator door. Inside Jimmy Wayne’s Nashville home, you’ll find letters from people telling him just how much his songs have touched them, how HIS story is THEIR story too.

Character, creativity and an unbridled passion for life infuse Jimmy Wayne’s music and reverberate through every track on Do You Believe Me Now, his debut on the Valory Music Company. “It’s definitely a change,” Jimmy says of his new effort. “The record that I put together has only two ballads on it and that’s it. Everything else is up-tempo. I spent three years trying to find these songs that just really set me apart."

Writing and finding songs that weren’t just good, but truly unique became Jimmy’s mission as he recorded his new project. He succeeds in crafting an album of songs that resonate strongly with audiences because of the honesty in the lyrics and the catchy melodies that make listeners immediately want to sing along. Each song on the project is brought vividly to life by Jimmy’s strong, soulful voice. It’s a potent instrument that conveys every nuance of a great lyric. In a few short years, Jimmy Wayne has developed a reputation as a “singer’s singer,” someone respected by his peers for his ability to deliver a song with an abundance of passion and personality that make each performance instantly memorable.

Yet, when asked what has brought him this far, Jimmy doesn’t mention his voice or his energetic stage show, he brings it all back to the songs. “I think it’s just the fact that I tell the truth,” he says of his music’s appeal. “People love to hear somebody stand on the stage and sing something that’s real. I give the people that come with their hard earned money a hundred percent of everything I could possibly give them. It’s clear to me that what I’ve experienced, I’ve experienced for a reason and maybe that’s my calling is to tell that story."

Do You Believe Me Now is the next step in Jimmy’s evolution as an artist. Time on the road has made his voice even stronger and more seasoned. Interaction with the fans has heightened his awareness of what an audience wants when they come to a show. Thus the new album is teeming with up-tempo tracks. While his first album was an intensely personal, almost cathartic collection, Jimmy’s new songs tend to explore more universal themes, yet still maintain inspiration from an intensely personal place.

Do You Believe Me Now features the hit single that has re-introduced him to a hungry country radio audience. The rest of the album runs the gamut from the summertime fun of I’ll Do That to the sensual One on One about a couple needing their alone time. A standout track is certain to be Jimmy’s duet with Patty Loveless, titled No Good For Me. “I hold honesty in lyrics and in vocal performance above all else in my music,” he states. “For me, Patty represents the embodiment of honesty in music to which the rest of us can only aspire.” Didn’t Come Here to Lose is a buoyant tune about not giving up on your musical dreams despite the challenges. Where You’re Going is an empowering anthem that features a guest vocal by John Oates of the legendary duo Hall & Oates.

Jimmy Wayne believes in the power of music to inspire and entertain and he’s devoted his life to doing both. He still can’t believe he’s living a dream come true. He should believe it now because it only takes one listen to that powerful, soul-drenched voice and others become believers too.
