Nell & Jim Band features the talents of Nell Robinson and Jim Nunally, together with an all-star band of Bay Area musicians. The last time Nell and Jim preformed for an Oaksongs audience was at a Soldier Stories benefit for veterans at Shasta College in 2011. Combining elements of Americana, folk, swing, jazz and blues, Nell & Jim Band has been featured on A Prairie Home Companion, the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, the PBS series Music Gone Public, and the Kate Wolf and Strawberry Music Festival. Joining Nell Robinson on flute & vocals and Jim Nunally on guitar & vocals are Jim Kerwin on bass fiddle, Jon Arkin on percussion, and Rob Reich on accordion & keyboards.
Nell Robinson has been described as a modern day Patsy Cline and one of the freshest voices in roots music. Her side-projects, from the poignancy of Soldier Stories to the whimsy of The Henriettas, further attest to the breadth and ambition of the youthful musical passions she let flower. In performance, shes interested in bridging worlds and breaking down the barriers between performers and audience. Everyone is invited to be part of the show!
Jim Nunally is a San Francisco Bay Area-native, a musician, composer, record producer, and teacher. As a guitarist and vocalist with the David Grisman Bluegrass Experience for over 13 years, Jim joins master American guitarists Doc Watson and Tony Rice as one of the finest interpreters and performers of bluegrass and traditional music. He is a recipient of two Grammy and IBMA Awards and is a two-time Western Open Flatpicking Guitar champion.
Jim Kerwin is considered simply one of the best string bass players in the country. Playing with David Grisman for over 30 years, he is featured on all of Grismans Jerry Garcia recordings. He has performed with bluegrass greats Red Allen and Del McCoury and has played at Carnegie Hall with Stephane Grappelli and YoYo Ma. Kerwin is featured on numerous recordings including six Grammy nominees from big band and bluegrass to jazz and latin.
Jon Arkin is a versatile, gifted percussionist who is known for his performances & recorded work in a wide variety of musical contexts. He has performed with jazz greats such as Lee Konitz, Gene Perla, and Ira Sullivan.
Renowned San Francisco musician and accordion player Rob Reich joined the band in 2017. He started studying piano at age three. After graduating with a degree in Music Composition from Oberlin Conservatory of Music, he moved to the Bay Area, where he discovered the accordion, now his primary instrument. He is best known for his work with Tin Hat, Gaucho, and Circus Bella.
The musicians in Nell & Jim Band are simply the best that the Bay Area has to offer. This is truly an all-star band!
