What a moving story! Jim Duff’s journey is a testament to resilience, creativity, and the power of music to inspire and heal. His influences from legendary songwriters shine through his dedication to storytelling, and it’s remarkable how he has persevered through such challenging circumstances.
Growing up in Kentucky, Jim Duff drew inspiration from the rich traditions of country and folk music. Songwriters and artists such as Mickey Newbury, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Guy Clark, Bob Dylan, John Prine, and Townes Van Zandt have profoundly shaped his craft and continue to influence his heartfelt storytelling.
Jim has toured extensively across the United States, Puerto Rico, and countless places in between. Along the way, he has graced the stages of large festivals and iconic venues, including the Dolby Theatre (formerly the Kodak Theatre) in Hollywood, California, the Bluebird Café in Nashville, Tennessee, the Old Quarter Café in Galveston, Texas, and the Cactus Café in Austin, Texas.
In 2018 a devastating medical report changed Jim's life forever. He was diagnosed with stage four melanoma cancer on his brain, lung, liver, and hip. By April 2019 he had made a remarkable recovery and hit the ground running with his songs and music. Jim released an incredible string of singles, EPs, and a full length album. In less than two years he produced a career-worthy catalog. Then came a tour that took him back down to Texas. It hasn’t been easy. Cancer came for him again in 2020 and 2021, but with the help of his doctors, family, friends and the prayers of fans he is once again on the mend. Treatments continue but Jim is not letting anything get in the way of the music. He’s still writing, recording, touring and releasing new songs.
Jim Duff is now in full remission, and for him, the show must go on—there are still stories to tell, songs to write, and music to share with the world.
