= Jim Duff = Jim Duff an American singer, musician, producer, songwriter, recording artist, and performer. The name Duff dates back to the 10th Scottish king of Alba or Scotland. Jim grew up in Waynesburg, KY and has played shows in areas such as Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, California, Nevada, Puerto Rico, and many other places throughout the US.

His style reflects many of the artists in his record collection. There are greats such as Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson lined up alongside Eric Clapton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Black Crows, Guy Clark, and Townes Van Zandt. Jim combines traditional Country ballads with flashes of Southern Rock and Blues that come together to create a sound that is both familiar yet refreshingly new.

In October of 2018 Jim was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma cancer on his brain, lung, liver, and hip. He underwent brain surgery in October of 2018 to remove a tumor located on the left side of his brain. Jim is still fighting cancer everyday with the help of advanced chemo therapy drugs that he takes daily. But his passion for music will not allow him to stop writing, recording, and producing music.
