If you were here for my November 2018 birthday celebration with Jim Boggia, then you know he was a trooper that weekend: he performed his Bruce Off-Broadway show at City Winery's Loft on Friday, joined the Fab Faux for a George Harrison Tribute show at the Beacon Theater in NY on Saturday, probably got less than four hours of sleep, and came to the Cozy Cabin for two performances in one afternoon! He played his heart out, left it all on the floor, and several gourmet audience members said it was one of their favorite performances. Jim said he had a fantastic, delirious time, and we’re going to do it again!
I've been a Jim Boggia fan since I heard "Listening to NRBQ" about ten years ago. He’s a master of Power Pop--strong melody line, heavy use of guitars, and simple rhythms a la early Todd Rundgren, The Raspberries, and Badfinger. The Philadelphia-based musical chameleon performs regularly with The Fab Faux, and has collaborated with many Philadelphia artists, among them Pete Donnelly (The Figgs), Eric Bazilian (The Hooters) and David Uosikkinen's (The Hooters) In the Pocket project. His most recent incarnations include The Prop Men with Fab Faux band mates Jack Petruzzellii (who’s visited the Cozy Cabin twice), and Rich Pagano and Bruce Off-Broadway; Jim is probably best known for his covers of the Beatles and Springsteen catalogs and making the ukulele the coolest instrument on the planet. Take a look at this video with The Kennedys:

And this sampling of Bruce Off-Broadway:

I was in the audience for this moved to tears performance City Winery’s “Remembering Leon” showcase last summer. At the end of the song, I gave the woman seated next to me a tissue and a hug:

Jim is great fun to watch, listen to, and capture on video (just search for Jim on You Tube and you'll see what I mean). If you've seen Jim perform, then you know what he’ll be like in the intimate space of the Cozy Cabin. If you're new to Jim, then you're in for a real treat. Since we’re in between Valentine’s Day and President’s Day, bring him roses or chocolate, or maybe a cherry pie.
