Jim Moffatt / Press

“Jim Moffatt has a beautiful voice and is a superb acoustic guitarist. Over the past 4 years we have had several concerts in our home with many talented musicians from Canada, the U.S. and Cuba. Jim, however, is unique in his poignancy and his ability to touch the members of the audience. We will be delighted to host Jim again, anytime.”

“It is said, “Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans,” and so it was with Jim. After a 10-year hiatus he found his way back to music and located on the West Coast. That return to music is good news for us all as Jim’s maturity has brought out a talent for writing and playing his special fusion style of folk, rock and blues. Whether he is singing the humorous Boss on a Spit or the soulful Blues Man, he can relate life shared experience with any audience. Jim has played on the stages of some very prestigious festivals including our own MusicFest and will return to that stage July 6.”

"Jim has a great voice and is a strong and adept guitar player" He has a way of connecting to an audience that is fun and powerful

Rick Norden/Joanne Campbell - Deep Cove Folk #18

“Jim Moffatt performed, at our November Coffeehouse on Gabriola Island, to a warm and appreciative crowd. We really enjoyed his reflective and relaxed set and excellent guitar-playing. Jim has a unique way of connecting, engaging and building rapport with his audience. During the slower and more intimate ballads, some of the people had their eyes closed, a gentle smile on their faces and rocking gently in their seats. At other moments, his compelling songs had them singing and clapping along. Jim's song-writing is real-life and sensitive. Have lots of fun at Folk Alliance! Best of luck, Colleen & Victor Artistic Directors Gabriola Folk Club”

“ Just wanted to let you know you and Mike sounded great at the club last night. The two of you really seem to gel together, and the performance was pretty flawless while still feeling relaxed.”

“Another crowd-pleasing night by Jim Moffatt, From poignant to passionate, Jim's well-crafted ballads and soulful delivery moved the audience seamlessly through a range of emotions. Jim could make any venue feel as intimate as a kitchen party.Thanks, so much! -Patty Victoria Folk Music Society”

"Nice Job Jim"
