The Time Jumpers
The Time Jumpers were established in Nashville in 1998. As word spread along Music Row that something special was happening at Station Inn, big stars began dropping by, some to sit in with the band, others just to enjoy the vast array of country, swing, jazz and pop standards The Time Jumpers rejoiced in playing. Among those drop-bys were Bonnie Raitt, Reba McEntire, Norah Jones, Robert Plant, The White Stripes, Kings Of Leon, Jimmy Buffet and Kelly Clarkson. None asked for their money back.
The current edition of The Time Jumpers is playing at SKyPAC on Tuesday at 7:30pm. includes 11 members, each a master of his (and, in one case, her) instrument. Some members to look for are Dawn Sears, Vince Gill, Kenny Sears and Ranger Doug Green. For more information and tickets, please call 270-904-1880 or visit the website below.
