Folk Pop from Jim Jagger

Based in the UK city of Ely, Jim Jagger has been making music as a solo artist for two decades while also forming half of the duo Cloudshapes alongside Rien De Keyser. Musically, Jim draws on a wide range of different styles and genres, with a particular appreciation for relaxing and uplifting vibes, when crafting his own delicate folk pop sound.

Over the years he’s played many shows all over London as well as playing the Half Moon at Epic Studios with Gracie Wright and multiple small festivals around the UK. Receiving recognition for his songwriting talents, he got to the regional finals of the Open Mic UK songwriter competition.

Aside from music, he’s a keen sportsman and has represented Great Britain at Ultimate Frisbee. Always involved in his local community, he serves as a sound engineer for the Lighthouse Church in his hometown and takes part in charity fundraising.

When raising money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association by undertaking an Ultra Marathon, he was overwhelmed by the number of generous donations he received to support the cause. Wanting to give something back to the donators, he offered to compose a song about something they chose; one of his friends asked for a song for someone they knew who was going through difficult times and suffering from a loss of confidence.

Bringing us that song, he shares his latest single with “Memories of Spring”, a poignant and soothing acoustic song that captures the very best of Jim Jagger’s elegant songwriting and assured performance panache. Written about holding onto the best moments and getting through tough times until the storm passes, “Memories of Spring” offers a stunning folk pop sound full of warm melodic writing and a graceful instrumentation arrangement.
