The Jimi Cupino Project

A native of Frederick, Maryland, Jimi Cupino is a versatile guitarist who puts his own signature on every note he plays. With a love of American roots music that began as a kid, Jimi has immersed himself in the classics of country, folk, rock, and blues. He has worked as a studio guitarist on a number of projects, and appeared on several CDs including a solo album entitled "Songs My Momma Likes to Hear" and two CDs by popular blues band Ronnie Ray & the Coolers, which feature Jimi on lead guitar. For the Jimi Cupino Project, Jimi joins forces with veteran percussionist Paul Shultzaberger and Bryan “Spanky” Lyburn on harmonica and vocals to create a fresh, original sound and a rich blend of musical styles. Presented with both humor and flair, the trio’s repertoire includes a wide variety of artists and eras—from Hank Williams, B.B. King, and Skip James to John Denver and Jimmy Buffett.
