A ballad singing song slinger, whose worked around the world on land and sea. A story teller, who writes with the keen eye of a poet and whose music could be the spawn of a sea shanty and a jazz standard.
Fond of the slower tempos and waltzes, Jimmy Dowling blends the overtones of a jazz sensibility with simple structures, and possesses an uncommon lonely magic. He's known for a conciseness and depth of lyric, a healthy use of space in the instrumentation and a natural swing in the vocal delivery.
