Bought my Sullivan guitar from Steve at AMW. Outstanding customer service... he even returned the Red Molly hat i left at their store on his own dime! I can't speak highly enough of the service, patience and advice... plus any friend of Scott Ainslie is a friend of mine!
- South Hills School of Business & Technology
-
Before i duck into the phone booth and emerge wearing my Folksinger cape, during daylight hours I am part of the Graphic Arts program at SHSB&T... without exaggeration, the best place I have ever worked. If you're interested in graphic design, come check our program out. (I also do personalized one-on-one instruction in Adobe inDesign, Adobe illustrator, Adobe Photoshop and Quark XPress.)

My design and copywriting web site, not quite finished yet. Okay, it's barely started... it'll be here someday!
- Hostbaby
-
I struggled with keeping my music web site live, current and looking somewhat designed for almost two years. Every time I had a tech problem, it was either a multiple-call struggle, or the problems never did get fixed. I switched to Hostbaby and have been nothing but impressed at how easy they make it. Frankly, I'd rather put spare time towards my music rather than sweating over the perfect web presence.
Singer Songwriters & Capo'd Cohorts
- Marc Douglas Berardo
-
Nobody writes songs with a sense of place better than Marc. You can smell the sea salt in the air on the songs from his CD Harbor.
- Hannah Bingman
-
Hannah is one of my favorite singer/songwriters, and i love the times we get to do a split bill or workshop together.
- Jud Caswell
-
If there was any justice in the world, Jud Caswell would be a household names. One of the finest performing songwriters on the scene today.
- Joe Crookston
-
I fell in love with Joe Crookston's music the first time I heard Fall Down as the Rain. One of the few performers I can think of that have gotten better ever time I've heard him live, and to this day, the only person doing this for a living who has ever asked me to open a show for him.
- Carolann Solebello
-
I was fortunate enough to work on the graphic design for Carolann's last three CDs. Carolann is a fine musician and songwriter, and if you only knew her through her work in Red Molly, you deserve to check her solo work out, too.

Happy to be hosting and performing in one of my favorite Arts Festival traditions, the singer songwriter showcase to help close out the Festival on Sunday.

Each performer will play a set of about 35-40 minutes, order to be determined. Come join us!

Jana Marie Foundaton Hobby Horse Derby

State College Alliance Church, 1221 Whitehall Road , State College
Join us on Friday, August 7, from 5–8 pm at the State College Alliance Church for family-friendly hobby horse races, hands-on crafts, and live music from Jim Colbert (hey, that's me!) Whether you're a seasoned rider or simply looking for a fun night out with the family, there's something for everyone to enjoy! I'm even going to learn a few horse-related songs to throw in my set list. Yeehaw and giddy up, everybody!
Jim Colbert and Steve Van Hook Lemont Village Green
Lemont Village Green, Lemont, PA, Behind the Center for Well-Being, Lemont
An annual tradition, as we coax Steve out of his musical retirement with the offer of some Sue Smith-baked cookies and begging and pleading on my part. :) Seriously though, this is one of my favorite gigs of the year, and I love sharing the evening with one of my best friends. Bring the kids, bring the dog, bring a lawn chair and enjoy a night of original acoustic music!
