Jim Adkins
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jim Adkins (born November 10, 1975) is the lead singer and guitarist in the American band Jimmy Eat World. Born in Mesa, Arizona, Adkins learned the guitar at an early age, and was a member of the regional band "Dream" while still in high school, before forming Jimmy Eat World with childhood friends Tom Linton, Mitch Porter and Zach Lind. Side projects include Go Big Casino, Secret Fox and his local record label, Western Tread Recordings. He also uses a famous electric guitar, the Gibson Les Paul, but seems to be using a Fender Telecaster on the new album recording. He also plays drums, but on a limited basis, never with his band. It is more of a hobby for him.
Jim Adkins is married to Amy McCarthy of Fryeburg, Maine.
