Bio
i'm the skinny kid who hit his head a lot but never got brain damage and was in punk raucous band with my long fingers and my monotone waste of a voice. then i learned to use it and was fuck singer with a kiss and lunge and an unvarnished acoustic body at my hip. and i was never hip or cool enough to be shot whilst on television yet turning myself into a broken ideal with every turn of the wheel. i sat on highways and over here we call them roads and i was the skinny kid who sat on highway...

"Keeping it quirky - though superficially he appears a normal singer songwriter - is Edinburgh's Jym Ponter. He attacks his guitar with verve and even takes a string out during an outburst of pure emotion. No doubting his stage presence or his ability either. Half the time, you have no idea what he is singing about but he does so with conviction. His lyrical style is that of obscure metaphorical poetry that requires a fair amount of your attention to fully appreciate. Thinking he is just another drawling Dylan influenced singer songwriter does not do him justice although the casual listener may draw that very conclusion. Jym Ponter should consider himself added to the very short list of good things that have come from Edinburgh."
