Blogging My Resume

{One of the advantages of having your own blog is that you can pretty much write about what ever you want. After almost 200 blog entries over the past three years, I've decided to use this forum to promote myself a little!}

With almost 30 years in show business primarily as a headline cabaret act on Cruise Ships and in Nightclubs, my shows are geared to a family audience. I can easily perform as the featured entertainment or as a specialty act slotted into a larger show.

With the recent addition of high quality backing tracks, my shows can be presented without the added expense of a backing band!

JIM COSTON

Tenor Banjoist

Few sounds are as distinctively American as Dixieland Jazz. From the smoke filled clubs of New Orleans' French Quarter and up the Mississippi River on the great stern wheelers, banjo players have spread a style of toe tapping good time music recognized the world over.

Today, there are but a handful of musicians to carry on that legacy. One of them, Jim Coston has been sharing his hard driving banjo solos and homespun sense of humor with audiences around the world for almost thirty years.

More than just a musician - Jim Coston is an entertainer. By combining traditional Dixieland Jazz with a selection of Broadway show tunes, popular standards, classical favorites, novelty tunes and just a touch of bluegrass, Jim Coston brings the banjo into the new millennium with and eclectic evening of music and comedy sure to please audiences everywhere.

Jim Coston has been a featured headline Cabaret Act on over 80 different cruise ships worldwide. Additionally, he has been featured at numerous Theaters, Fairs, Conventions, Corporate Events and Nightclubs across the USA as well as local and national Radio & Television appearances.


Currently, Jim has three shows of approximately 45 minutes in length.

Update! : Jim Coston now has two complete 45 minute shows available using high quality Backing (Click) Tracks!

These tracks can be used by themselves or can be used to augment a rhythm section or small combo to produce a full sounding show without the expense of a complete orchestra!

I am currently available for any medium to long term engagements (1 week or longer) worldwide for Cruise Ships, Nightclubs, Casinos, Fairs, Festivals, Theme Parks, Productions Shows, Touring Shows, Corporate Events, Radio & TV.
